Good job we have Sam Gospel! Think he might be seeing more ice time this season than originally anticipated...

I've just altered the title slightly. Sad if true and as FMD says, if true, that should be that for us.

£17,000 fine heading his way and a possible custodial (House arrest type thing, not allowed to leave Ukraine) sentence of up to 5 years, and that's just the Ukrainian Law, not IIHF.

If it's true then we don't want him here. What a fool.
Explains what his delay is though!

Do you think that Panthers knew nothing about this pending matter? If this guy had this hanging over him why would he tout himself as a free agent . We always manage to pick a bad one, over the last few years we've had a few or are they just cheaper.

Daft lad. Doesn't surprise me though when you look into the oft murky world of any sport in that part of the world.
As others have said, I hope Panthers move one from the player, despite it being innocent until proven guilty, unless his confession is a genuine & sincere "cough."

Couldn't have been very good at match fixing, he's the netminder and the game was 2-1 after a PS

I think they know about it but are awaiting the hearing Zakh has with the Ukrainian Hockey Fed. on Monday. If he gets away with a slap on the wrist I'd expect him to still be coming here, but I doubt he'll get a slap on the wrist. Plus i'd assume the IIHF will be investigating so an indefinite suspension may be issued. |

Cut him loose we don't need that kind of player if he has done what he is being accused of. Gospel is more than capable of being our back up. Explains why it's taken so long

If he had held his hands up, said he's made a mistake and takes his punishment, I would still have him here. He will want to rebuild his career and maybe being out of that environment will help. There's no big money for hockey results in this country so it has such a low risk. Also, maybe spending time with a coach like corey, who has his faults but a genuine reputation for being a fantastic mentor to young players, will help him put the incident behind him!

Without knowing many facts , taking into account he's what 21 ? He's,probably been used as a pawn here and bullied into it a little and there's a ringleader behind all this here , I doubt we 'll never really know what happened as the details of these things are never published

Oh dear. Reserve judgement till the verdict comes out. But doesnt look great at this point.
Hope Coreys been working on a plan b while all this had been going on. Just incase.
Silver lining is at least people can get off the clubs back about this one. Or have i just jinxed that?...

He was plan B wasn't he? At least we are not trying to replace a starting netminder.
I reserve judgment as to whether they should of signed him as it depends on the timeline of him being investigated. I don't think even the Panthers would of signed him if they new it was going to happen.

Have you watched Red Army shin ? That didn't show the Russian treatment of players in a very good light at all, did it? Instead of their names on the back of the jerseys, they may has well just have had "Piece Of Meat 1" and "Piece Of Meat 2" etc... |

That film I thought was a real eye opener, as a wings fan as in the late 80s early 90s we acquired several from Russia yes Shaggy it wasn't very pleasant |
