If he comes with that skillset of requirements then who wouldnt be happy even if its a week or two late and for what its worth i dont believe the club ever looked to resign lepine as i would suspect he is now too expensive for them...

The last time Panthers were perceived to have adverts for defencemen on elite prospects was mid July (start date 7th august) Said adverts were then taken down circa 17th July. This would point toward the fact Neilson thought he was close/had offers out to player/s he wanted and thought he would get - which may or may not have been Lepine. In all likelihood this new advert.. again if it is Panthers (which i believe so) then it indicates Neilson hasn't got a plan B in terms of a signing and is now frantically trying to find one.....

Think it's pretty obvious now that the "final player has already been signed" brigade were not in the know at all!

If that's the case, then you won't mind naming the player that had been signed only to back out.

I never said you did, the people who did know who they are.

Now i look like i know what im on about, but you have no way to tell if im right or wrong. The reality is probably that Corey had a player/players.he was after but none have come though by a deadline. How hes starting his search again (Like kolnik and Schmit last season). Its annoying because we'll propably end up with a worse player than we would have and they'll be late. But you cant make them sign. I dont think we ever had a player sign but just thought we were close.

I think this is what's happened too... and you know that when they do sign someone it'll be an onslaught of 'waited the right guy' BS from Neilson/Moran.

Spang is here already, I'd assume Lindhagen, Mokshantsev and Zakharchenko are already here being only a few hours away. I saw somewhere, maybe on here, that Greener has picked a few guys up earlier this week but nothing about who. We'll see tomorrow though! Surprised they've not done an article each time one of them gets to the UK, done it every time in the past!

They did, I meant on the press release when the new guy gets announced... it'll be full on 'waiting on the right guy' / 'been on the radar for years' / 'Neilson finally gets his man'.

The GMB Nottingham Panthers announce an exciting new competition. YOU yes YOU can be the last signing. Open try outs commence Wednesday and one lucky Panthers fan will be the final signing of pre season.
This competition aims to allow fans to be more involved with the club and is not a ill thought out idea after being unable to close the final signing in good time.
GM, you're welcome, this idea is on me and is as inefficient as many of yours and CN's other recruitment strategies so should fit in well.

Belfast to announce the signing of 4 players over the next 4 days, starting tomorrow (Tuesday)...... Wonder if any of them are amongst the players that Neilson was hoping to announce as the final signing in the next 48 hours or so. Wouldn't come as a surprise.....

If it's the right signing it's worth the wait. Whether it will be or not remains to be seen of course, but a good few years back now Sheffield signed Kevin Bolibruck a couple of weeks into the season and he was the best player in the league.

Totally agree but there is a huge risk to leaving it that late. If the results don't go our way at the beginning of the season fans will be going crazy asking where the signing is and if it comes to the end of the season and we are say 4 points away, a signing may have made the difference. I know it's a little dramatic but you get the jist.
