How many import slots left?

[Deleted]

I'm guessing at 5 could be wrong on that

[wgray]

It is 5 import spots left and 1 Brit spot, which you’d assume is a Brit backup.

I’d say that lineup looks pretty accurate tbf Pidge. We could be looking to sign an experienced defensive head to play with Tetlow, to form a decent shutdown pairing, but we’ll have to wait and see. I’d say the top 6 and bottom 6 forwards are set right, hopefully the remaining signings get us excited

[bobness]

Loving your work.
Ollie should be looking at a top 6 role this season.

I'd be wary of thinking that the last 2 of the last 3 forwards will be 100% nailed on first line studs, though.
We all remember working ourselves up to a frenzy about our final signing in 2018 which we all hoped would be a 6'4 AHL winger who could put himself about a bit and getting (with the greatest of respect, it wasn't his fault) Hurtubise.

I can better that.. remember a few years ago we hoped for the last signing to be a star and he ended up being Nikiforuk!

I do think we should be looking at 2 players for the top 6 and one player for the bottom 6, but I agree in that the top 6 players we sign might not be guaranteed to be 1st line players.

Paredes and Pacha will have a plan as to who they want to play on certain lines, it will come down to chemistry how the lines alter and potentially even mid-season additions if they realise they’re missing something from the team. Imo it’s perfectly acceptable to think about mid-season additions now, so long as we act on it quickly during the season

Not a chance Ollie is 4th line

It’s disappointing that Clan have picked up Darien Craighead, he would have been a nice fit for Panthers. The name would have looked great back on a Panthers jersey again too

[Deleted]

Forget the name for a minute panthers don't need any more bottom 6 forwards!

Beware of sentiment. See Dylan Olsen.
I'm also generally not keen on players returning when they've had a break from Panthers. They are rarely anything like as good second time around.

Craighead was excellent in Manglerud, and was playing big minutes, but when their money ran out and he had to leave, he was far less productive with Valerenga in the same league.

I don’t remember Olsen being that bad. Nowhere near as good as his CV suggested mind you but he really was part of a bloody awful team that season

[Bagheera]

I dont think it was ever really in doubt that we'd go 15+1 spare import goalie, but Panthers confirm it.

Just what was the point in this tweet if they ain't going to announce a addition to the roster? There's still 5 to announce (and I imagine some of those are already signed!) Some rosters are not complete.. just what are they doing ! 🙄 I do wonder about Panthers at times

Only you would see this as a bad thing. They’ve told us how many signings are left to announce and in what positions and left us in no doubt that we are going 15+1. What’s the problem?

Anyone who can see who's already signed can see they need 2 d men and 3 forwards! It's not hard really is it

I know, the nerve of being so open and transparent with the fans. Who ever asked for such things!

There’s a large number within the fan base who no matter how many times it is briefed don’t seem to know the roster numbers etc so something like this as a quick and easy visual helps those with a more casual understanding of what’s going on.

Ah yes, but equally they could have opted for a second non import NM on a two-way deal (under the roster rules). A question which was debated on this very forum this past week.

The tweet would rather seem to make it clear that that's not going to happen.

So theoretically someone could say, anyone can see they're saying there's not going to be any further NM signings? But life to short for that. And it's partial supposition as things could change if the right deal comes along

It's information shared. It's transparent (which was asked for). What people do or don't manage to take away from it is out of the organisations control.
