Superb stuff. Adds to the elation that I'm a Canucks fan too!
High quality, tough, solid defenceman and only 27. Going to be a big boost to the defence, just hope he can get here relatively hassle free and hopefully by September at the latest.
Not surprised it wasn't that #28 either. Glad that's all been put back to the bed.

Apparently he beat testicular cancer last year.... could have something to do with not playing much? |

Looks great, seems his season was cut short due to testicular cancer, great to see him fight that disease and win. Looks a fantastic signing.

Looks great, seems his season was cut short due to testicular cancer, great to see him fight that disease and win. Looks a fantastic signing. Diagnosis, to chemo, to victory in 3 months! All whilst his wife was 7 months pregnant too. Just to add to a preious post regarding a game misconduct in his 1 league game in the DEL. He played 3 minutes, high sticked someone by accident, they were bleeding so he got tossed. He was also waiting on something from Laval, Montreal's AHL affiliate by the sounds of it too. www.tvasports.ca/2017/05/02/la-benediction-de-yann-sauve |

KHL and DEL last season. Size and toughness. Sauve is finished this team off very nicely!

I feel he's a a risky signing. I respect high risk high reward but I hope beyond hope we have a rough idea how to cover should he struggle.
Fantastic player though and a hot season in the EIHL could be jaitnthe declaration he needs to show Europe he's ready again.
His post illness DEL run gives me hope though if he performs well and gets a better offer I can see him initiating his two weeks notice.

Excellent signing worth the wait!
He won the fastest shot comp in a echl all star game over 100mph!
Nothing else to add except it finishes the roster off nicely

I've been moaning about not getting all the players here on time but credit where it's due. Looks a top class signing.
When will he be here?

Quality player. Could well be one of the best d men in the league next year.
Just what we needed. Hopefully a smooth visa prosess.

Just spoke to my friend who is a Munich fan and he really rated him and hoped they would re-sign him for this season

Looks a very good signing. Shame he played for Vancouver, but I'll get over it. The team looks pretty good this season.

I'm glad we waited to get a player of this quality. Ticks boxes in terms of size and pedogree plus sticks to the young team ethic. Really happy with the team we've put together

Going by his somewhat low points totals, I would guess that he's pretty much a stay-at-home D-man. Good. I will be quite happy if he doesn't score a single point all season, as long as he puts 100% into making sure that the opposition don't score any either. We've got plenty of scoring potential already... we have a strong netminding contingent... what I want to see is a strong defence as well to support the latter. By the looks of it, this guy will help a lot with that. Of course, I'll be even happier if he hits like a freight train...  |

Damn good signing - worth waiting for. A player that not only beat cancer as others have said but was back playing at such a high level in such a short space of time after recovery and won a trophy too. Shows great determination to succeed
Wonder if Michael Garnett pointed Corey in his direction as they both started off at Zagreb in the KHL last season.
Having said that the Nottingham post article which announced his signing was interesting.
It said that Panthers haven't stated whether this will be the final signing - hinting there could be at least one more to come.....
Perhaps another outskater or maybe another goalie if they feel Zakharchenko may not be able to resolve his visa issues?

Quality signing this one.
Prefer this signing rather than another more of a tough guy type Dman.
Let's just hope he's signed on an unbreakable season long contract though.

An introduction to Yann Sauce - His NHL draft profile.
Theres also plenty of his fights on you tube. He's certainly not shy to drop 'em when the need arises so to speak

Is there really such a thing? You'd have to hope Panthers have a great exit clause that will see them get a tidy sum to spend elsewhere. He really looks too good for the league, young, skilled and a great CV. I wonder if he's using the CHL to put himself in the shop window. It does worry me a bit. |
