Erstwhile team mate of Jamal Watson at Flames, and he looks half decent.

says he's injury cover for Steve Lee, but he's a forward.
played with Cardiff's Cole Sanford at Regina

The interesting bit of that is that you can sign an import as an IR replacement for a Brit, presumably because we've not got a full quota of imports yet, ordinarily?
Good luck to him, at the very least it's an extra skater for a busy period. We've not lost anything to find out what he can do in the Elite League.

Cody Drover is working out for the Stars as a first year Pro signed late (3g, 1a in 6 games), and he had a year off as well, so hopefully Richards will work out for us too. Good luck to the guy |

I suspect Lee has had a set back then as we could have brought an import in sooner if we thought it was going to be long term. |

Good to have another player in and we can now actually play with 14 imports and 5 Brits for the 1st time this season I believe.
I hope Richards comes in and has a big impact, it’s been said that he’s got some speed, if he does then that will be greatly welcomed. He’s had a few fights in his junior career, I don’t think we’ve signed him for his fighting ability but it would be great if he brought some energy into the NIC. I don’t expect him to come in and score loads of goals, but I’d like to think he can provide some speed and tenacity, which we are also missing.

Basically just another warm body as a fill in. Emphasis the obvious drop in league standard from pre Covid days.

I’m trying desperately to think of the last young and cheap looking Panthers signing who actually made any difference at all and I’m afraid I can’t think of a single one ! |

Not Boivin or Domingue then? Both effectively straight from college? I'd probably argue that Panthers most disappointing signings in the last few years have all been the apparently more expensive ones. |

One is 4 years older,the other 3 older and they both have better stats than this kid. |
