Worth the wait. Early enough on in the season that he can make a decent impact.
Cheered me up - i was in Belfast for the game last night and we need an extra spark in there. The players look tired and lots of games on the toad to come with a big 2 way centre will only add an extra element to this team and give us the chance to rest bodies if needs be

Need to keep VanCleef for the weekend at least, this guy hasn't played this season if I'm reading things correctly? How fit and up to speed is he going to be because 3 in 3 will knacker him...lol

One thing is for certain we won't be getting bullied this weekend 😁

Really good signing by you guys, this league is so good now that if you are1-2 imports short it tells big time, this guy looks the full package and Panthers just got stronger. We I think will be signing another player with Faryna out,and if we sign a guy with this guys credentials I would be well happy. Happy Hockey Days.

He's pretty much as good as you're likely to pick up in a league like this once the season has started . He played with Yann Sauve on a couple of teams several years apart in both the AHL and KHL.

I think we can now all agree that the 3rd biggest budget belongs to Panthers - the Devils firmly planted in 4th place ✔️
I also believe Chernomaz is heightist 😂

Bolduc has signed for pennies, the privilege to play in the Lace City (home of the best looking women in the country) and the promise of a job and house in Bermuda with Aladdin Management Ltd when he retires. Apparently thats how things are done these days. Uni deal are old hat.

Here’s a question for post Christmas though you’ve yet to see Bolduc play - who sits when Rheault returns? 😳👀🤷🏼♂️🤔

Unfair question no real fan wants to knock his own players, it’s about being united, not divided.

Plenty of grafters but the rest do more in other areas. However I don't think anybody is out and out dissapointing and a lot can happen between now and then. It may be a choice the coach never gets to make. It's very rare for everybody to be fully fit anyway.

That being said, if all were healthy and fit, it would be situational. At current form I'd sit Doty, or Biggs if we are playing a more physical team like Storm.

Seriously? 😳 Or whether the Coach made the right decision or not afterwards? Guess I’m not a real fan, but then I’ve followed the 4th biggest budget team for 24 years 🤦🏽♂️

In the AHL... Patrick Dwyer played 354 at 0.55 ppg Alex Bolduc played 433 at 0.61 ppg And Bolduc is 2 years younger... In the NHL... Patrick Dwyer played 416 at 0.22 ppg Alex Bolduc played 65 at 0.08 ppg

Van Kleef sits anyway plus one other when Rheault is fit again.....we’ve got two spare imports now.

As Iggy says Vankleef sits anyway. You then have to pick one other too. The reality is there isn't much choice. Can't see it being any other forward than Doty or Biggs. For me Biggs has stepped it up in the last few weeks and looked great on Saturday. I don't think Doty is doing too bad, unfortunatly he would just be the unlucky one. As I said, things may change before we get all players fit again, Doty could be flying and somebody else could be well off the boil.
