Interesting listening to the short interview GG have to the website. Recognition that lack of chemistry can no longer be an excuse and that we are lacking the physicality up front.

Interesting move. Certainly the type of change we need if you read the article. Not sure he's of the quality we need as his points arn't big but neither are his PIMs for a hitting guy willing to fight. If he does play as described in the article though he'll be exactly what we were missing. Here's hoping he brings that much needed energy.
1 or 2 more changes needed.

About time they made some changes. Honestly would still want another power forward in this team.

Well hallelujah GG’s finally realised what the fans could see weeks ago, far too many players the same and not enough crash bang !
Interesting interview part way through,did GG go a bit far and said simething they didn’t want in there so they cut it out. Lol. 🤣

At least Brassard may have some competition for worst +/- stats now - Ricci leaves Dundee with his at -20!

I still wouldn't get rid of Brassard. Has some credit in the bank from last season. He's proved he's good enough in this league. Get rid of Lagrone and get the pairing set correctly. |

Is Ricci any good? I see he was Dundee captain, so presumably they rated him, at least as a leader.
They got rid of two others today too.

Hmmm... he'll be expected to up his game a bit I think, from the season so far.
Welcome to Nottingham Fab.

Looks like exactly the type of player Panthers need but is he the right calibre. No disrespect intended but Dundee does look like his level and an aspiring Panthers team I would expect to be looking higher

Good to see Graham is making changes. It’s disappointing that it didn’t work out for Johnston, we expected him and Ferrara to find their chemistry but an early injury for Johnston and Ferrara’s lack of form have been big factors that have led to this outcome imo. Johnston will find a job somewhere else I’m sure
Hopefully Ricci does bring some physicality to the team and ruffles a few feathers. He doesn’t have to fight, just lay hits and put people off their game whilst trying to chip in with some points, that would be an improvement

Finally some muscle and grit. Finally.
Good move this imo.

The point of the ‘secondary toughness’ to me isn’t about scrapping necessarily, but in providing a physical edge up front, playing the body and being dynamic on the forecheck. Hunts bonus was that he was a good fighter to boot. Gagnon can deal with the heavies, but the way I read this guy can stick up for his teammates if need be and fight if necessary with some middle weights. The bit I’m most excited about is the hitting on the forecheck. I’d love to see stats on our hit totals, as I’d guess they’d be near the bottom of any kind of table. The amount of times defenceman go behind their goal to retrieve a puck and don’t get checked is infuriating for me, hopefully Ricci plays with an edge and makes behind their own net a more daunting place for D men to go!

You are spot on in terms of what he role should be and what secondary toughness is. That hitting and forechecking. I cant honestly say I've ever noticed the guy so of course he get's chance to prove himself. For a guy that hits and will fight to stick up for team mates, aswell as perhaps playing with an edge his career PIMs are quite low. That's why i'm a little concerned as to if he really is a big hitting, protector type. |

I doubt we will see him fight a lot and probably won’t knock many people off their feet to often but will definitely add some physicality in finishing some hits and in the board play. Still hope we add a more bruising power forward soon. |

Finally a replacement for, and upgrade on the role Touisignant was brought back to do. Or, what I hoped to see from Hunt.

A signing with a fair bit of input from Pacha?

Think GG has had to do something, he’s hanging on by his fingertips I hear. He has to find a player also that can feed Ferrera and ignite his game.

What's the betting Johnston starts banging them in at his new club! It's the coach who needs to go!
