Matthew Haywood? EP just confirmed him as leaving the Clan to "unknown" As a secondary Brit, I wouldn't complain, but would hope that a signing this close to ST deadline would be a blockbuster. |

Ahhh a signing announcement just a day or too before the ST deadline...
Some things haven't changed then.
Hopefully as already said its a 'blockbuster signing, its certainly been a while since we've had one like that

Haas as mentioned by The Flying Shirt in the rumours thread?
Do we have a new ITK on our hands?!

Gosh, my wife's family are good friends with Matt's wife and family so I know how much the club means to all of them, not just Matt so that's a pretty tough read.
I've always thought he's a useful player and a really, really good team guy, but with having a young family would a move to Nottingham suit him, I'm not so sure.

If pash and co look after him, could be ideal. |

I think you'd struggle to find someone disappointed about this announcement! |

I think you'd struggle to find someone disappointed about this announcement! Erm. I wouldn't say i'm dissapointed at all, but i'm not particularly excited by it yet either. I love Matt and what he's done over the years, but he is gettjng older and a lot slower. I think he can still bring plenty but all depends what role he's going to be asked to play. You'll here me say this a lot over the next few months, but it all depends how the rest of the line up comes together and in particular the Brit pack. The roster rules going back up to 20 of course give us 1 more Brit spot so that helps. Now you have to assess the options though. Weigh into that the reality of what we could expect. The way I'd like to see it. Brit back up(on match nights, likely 3rd choice behind 2 imports?) 1 Brit Dman 2nd Line Perlini 3rd Line Olli 4th Line Myers Hopkins slotted in any of those lines where appropriate. I just want him here full time and playing. What that team doesn't have is Kelsall. No big loss but thats where the Panthers reality perhaps has to come in. Can you really see him not being back? If we do have Kelsall then are we going 6 import D? Or do we see Goalie, Dman, Kelsall, Myers, Ollie and Hopkins? That leaving no room for Perlini. Way to many if buts and maybes in there and its clearly to early to be second guessing. Hopefully though just gives an idea on why i'm not 100% thrilled by this until the Brit pack comes together. On Myers role itself. I'd be happy to see him centre a propper contributing 4th line and on special teams. Remember pre Covid we were using a regular 4th line that wasn't just about sparing shifts for kids. A propper 4th line that can be hugely effective. Not a dump your spares on 4th line. |

Good to have Myers back for another season, especially when there aren’t a vast amount of experienced and capable Brits to choose from.

Lots of unknowns like you say. Has Lee finished? If he has, I’m not sure we can pick up another Brit dman that is ready to play. As you mention, we could end up with a Brit goalie and 5 Brit forwards. 6 import D would be good. |

Wouldn’t be surprised to see if he ends up on a two-way somewhere as injury cover, although being closer to the end of his career than the beginning he might be starting to think about life after hockey. |

Official.. Ferrara confirmed ...
So what's made him join panthers then after a few years settled in Coventry?
Considering the accommodation is substandard, and they get treated like crap...it can't be all down to money can it as I keep getting told so what is it 😉😂
