What situations was he in in Ontario? He'll be playing more minutes here which equals more production. He'll be a very good signing, not groundbreaking numbers, but a guy that should be leaned on.

not at all, Riley is a very good player in this league but he isn’t the best, good poach tho. I think devils resigning Linglet was huge! That might be it for me so far. For a re-signing I agree with you there, I was only specifically talking about players new to a specific team the Russian in Sheffield I’d have of vallerand personally.

No those players now are safe options but their bodies are slowing down. You do know once joto a time Martin, haddad, dixon were new to the league right? And you think the likes of Armstrong are anything to be worried about?

The argument there is take his season where he scored 19 goals and his stars are bang average.. the standard in the VHL isn't great (Macmillan came from there lol)

Theres potentially 4 more top end guys to come in. We have a young side unlike cardiff and Sheffield who the majority are the wrong side of 30 and on a downward spiral now where their best days are behind them. I'd rather be signing players near their peak. But it’s a risk signing some of these players. The players Cardiff and Sheffield have signed are established players we haven’t really signed an established player apart from maybe Connolly and Matheson Are you saying Herr isn't established? The guy played in the AHL....he established himself there. He's no less established than Conolley....both first season EIHLers

Yeah I’m just a bit miffed that people can say that Herr is the sigining of the season. Many Panthers fans disagree and I think people are not looking at the negatives

Yeah I agree with this, I thought we’d be signing a few higher profile names based on Wallace and Doucet’s experience A seasoned AHLer in his prime? Who the hell do people think we're going to sign?! It's mind boggling.

He looks good, it's a good signing. But not everyone is going to want to name their first born after him based on his stats, like Pidge. The Henderson comparison is a bit of a downer though

Also at no point have I said Herr is a bad signing, but I think he will be a Good 3rd liner nothing more

The Henderson comparison is a bit of a downer though Henderson was 6 years older so I’m holding onto that positive. I’m just curious as to where people think we should be signing from as much as anything

26 and 3 consecutive full AHL seasons. Certainly cause for optimism. Could be a star.

Like a mate has said we have recruited a few players who have either been captains or assistants.. we are getting a team of leaders too, something Panthers severely lacked last year

PPG is all just numbers. You never know he may be an excellent skater and go to defensive forward and contribute in that way. What situations was he in in Ontario? He'll be playing more minutes here which equals more production. He'll be a very good signing, not groundbreaking numbers, but a guy that should be leaned on. The vast majority of players line up roughly with their previous stats. I have no doubt he will do what he does well, hes 26 and you dont play 4 seasons in the AHL if your rubbish. But he doesnt look like what we need. Where are our goals coming from? If hes a top 6 signing (which it sounds like) we already look short. We have 3 more to sign by my reckoning. Bloody hell they best all be 35 goals plus players. This team isnt shaping up well in my mind. We couldbe in for a long season. Id be much happier with what you guys have signed at this point.

I’m just curious as to where people think we should be signing from as much as anything The ECHL, so many good players in this league have come from there. Get guys in the mid 20's knocking around a ppg. Then sprinkle in a few older guys with higher level expirence. Thats the formula that has worked for many teams over the years. Although i would say the goals posts are slightly shifting with the Devils.
