One of the better players I've seen come up as being released/free agent. Undersized but did well in the ECHL, looks like a potential goalscorer. Dante Salituro. www.eliteprospects.com/player/169595/dante-salituroHe was signed with Indy Fuel before taking a try-out with SaiPa in the Finnish Liiga. Also attended the Rockford AHL camp and left to head to Finland. There isn't a great deal of players on the market currently, and some that people have suggested on Twitter look complete gash. Regardless, we need a signing soon. Can you imagine any decent prospect looking at our current form / position and think "you know what, that's just the opportunity I've been looking for, I'll sign for the Panthers!!!!" - NOT. That’s where moneys talks. This guy would be welcomed at the minute. Whether he’s a centre or a winger, importantly he’s right handed and he looks to be capable of finding the net. The only issue is his size but that is not overly concerning if he’s got ability. Personally I think we need 3 forwards, if this guy was one of them then that would be a step in the right direction imo.

You will Pidge. But will you still be daft enough to keep paying to watch underachievement every year ? I haven’t been so far; feel detached from the club in all honesty. The last few seasons have been awful IMO. I have a freebie ticket for a game in late October due to the wife’s employer however... And that's why I haven't been for 6 years. Reading the forum as I still do, it's the same comments and concerns from back then. I don't watch the team anymore so am not qualified to comment on the players. It's just so sad to see the Panthers struggling - again.

Yep, and often the same people bleating about "something must be done", before they mention how, as they have a season ticket already it doesn't make sense to boycott games etc. The Panthers fanbase have the ownership group they deserve. One that is as equally pathetically half-hearted, liable to make grand statements then do naff all and seemingly happy, when all the dust has settled, to just plod on in the same manner they always have.

Exactly the amount of people I see moaning til they are blue in the face but who are season ticket holders therefore are happy with the current situation.. when they say they 'love the game' and 'can't walk away' that's just a cop out to me. You can still love the game and not put hundreds of reddies into some offshore bank account in June. Too much hot air ..

I think the simple answer to this is “you go home, look on the internet and see what else you can buy for the cost of a Panthers season ticket next summer”

No hurry to get back to hockey until I hear the excitement has returned.

Won’t be getting my cash for the foreseeable future; my money however has already been replaced by someone else’s. The club won’t notice, nor should they, and I (at this current time) don’t miss them.

Just been looking at some stats to see how poor Bulmer has been.. I knew he'd been bad but Christ.
Only import forward in the entire league, without a point. 177th in league points (0), only one import skater lower than him which is Lepine at 179th. Worst +/- in the league at -9.
We have the 9th best PK at 76.19%. 8th best PP at 14.29%. 9th in goals conceded. 8th in goals scored.
Dreadful stuff.

Not getting the media results service, if also at work and miss one or two, I will have to amend,ta. generally check with the OS at times though I wonder if it will be right. To be fair the GRS are looking better now, bar 1 or 2 elements to understand with 'time on ice' for minders. I'll slap my wrist and get on with the job altering that table.

“Where do we go from here?”
Firstly, I desperately want Panthers to succeed and be a powerhouse of a club. However, as I have posted elsewhere on this forum, I don’t believe this will happen whilst NB is the owner, he simply doesn’t have the passion, hockey knowledge or desire to move the club forward.
So, I would like to see attendances continue to drop for the foreseeable future - why?
Then hopefully NB will see no profit coming his way for the foreseeable future and decide to cut his losses and sell up.
Because the club will be generating less income it would command a lower sell price and therefore be more attractive to a potential buyer.
Obviously the ideal buyer would have plenty of cash and a GENUINE interest in hockey and in driving the club forward.
Some say the fans have no say it things, I disagree, by not attending you CAN influence the future of this club for the better.
But unless this happens I fear Panthers are dead as a club.

Top post and totally agree.. been my thoughts for years now.. Lower crowds eventually leads to lower income then the profit margin decreases. It will happen

Yep spot on,I’ve always said too that fans have a massive influence on things. If crowds and revenues carry on dropping Black will eventually do something about it make no mistake. Best thing short term that the fans can do in respect of the long term is to stop being such easy gullible targets and put your wallets away for a bit.

Yes, the continuing drop would surely not benefit Mr.Black but fans had no influence before because of the only objective from the club being profit without any justified target in a season. Every season was a 'success' due to Cup wins yet consistency failed. Things went our way for so long so the set up played the ignorance card with the supporters. Only now the screw will turn if next season sees a drastic fall in ST sales and limited merchandise flogged. Fans hands tied, no Supporters Trust had things the clubs way. Just now the tide is turning?

Yes those cups win kept things ticking over, now that is drying up and the hope for me now is to get dumped out of the CC in Denmark (as blacky has a unhealthy obsession with all things europe) things would get interesting if they happens 😁

Don’t let those cup/play off wins paper over huge cracks that have been there for many years. Even with little competition Panthers only managed one paltry league title !
