greetings from kalamazoo, michigan in the state's.former home of:kory karlander.
I have had the pleasure of watching him play the past few years:not only for the UHL kwings,also the AHL grand rapids griffins.
the panthers are getting a high caliber player,don't let his age worry you!he is still in excellent condition!he is a super minor league scorer!and an excellent center!he is tops on the power play!and an anchor on the penalty kill!and first class on the faceoffs!
he also has a great personality off the ice!he will be sorely missed over here!

Hiya DTG - welcome to the Cage. Your observations are very encouraging - we've lacked a top class face off man for some seasons - and it's hurt us! We know Kory of old fitted your description - very good to hear he still does! Have you heard for definite over your side of the Pond that he's heading to Panthers?

Hi, Welcome to the Cage. Has it been announced in Kalamazoo that KK is leaving for the Panthers? Hi, nothing has been officially annouced over here!other than the kwings were in talks with him.but this was sometime ago. we have signed 6 veterans ,and he is not one of them!we were hopeful he would stay as his wife is expecting! but the money is better across the pond! Mike Manley, Glenn Detulleo and Jeff Brown Return to Kalamazoo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 24 , 2007 - Mike Modugno Director of Public Relations and Broadcaster Kalamazoo, MI -The Kalamazoo Wings, proud member of the International Hockey League, a announce the signings of forwards Mike Manley, Glenn Detulleo and defenseman Jeff Brown; per team policy the terms of the contracts will be undisclosed. The last time K-Wing fans saw Manley in a Kalamazoo Wings jersey he was hoisting the Colonial Cup. After playing last season in the ECHL with the Trenton Titans, Manley comes back to the team where he started his professional career. The forward was a member of the K-Wings from 2004-06. He (Manley) got caught in a numbers game in the ECHL with contracted NHL draft picks and didn’t get the ice time he needed to succeed,” said General Manager Wade Welsh. “Returning to the K-Wings gives Manley the perfect opportunity to showcase his abilities.” Manley is a bona fide performer that has a track record of scoring in the clutch and well as a proven commodity on the penalty kill. During the 2005-06 season, Manley led all United Hockey League rookies in shorthanded goals with six. The six shorthanders by Manley still stand as the K-Wings’ single-season UHL franchise record. Adding to the K-Wings offensive arsenal will be Glenn Detulleo. The native of Timmins, Ontario is coming off a postseason run, which he set the K-Wings’ UHL record for assists in a single playoff year (15). “Glenn creates scoring chances for both him and his linemates,” said Welsh. “He’s coming off a career playoff year and we expect him to continue were he left off.” Over the past two seasons, Detulleo has averaged 63 points, which includes the 2005-06 season with the Quad City Mallards. An iron man during that season, Detulleo set personal career high in goals (17) assists (53) and points (70). Last season, Glenn continued his scoring brilliance tying his career best for goals in a single season. Originally, joining the K-Wings last November through a trade with Quad City, Detulleo split last season with the K-Wings, Mallards and Elmira Jackals. Also returning to the K-Wings will be Jeff Brown. The 2007-08 season will be Brown’s tenth as a professional and second in Kalamazoo. Last season, Brown helped anchor one of the stingiest defenses in the UHL, which surrendered 2.51 goals a game. Brown was also one of five members of the K-Wings to earn to be selected and start in the 2007 UHL All-Star Classic. “When you have the opportunity to sign an all-star caliber player, you have to jump at it,” said Welsh. “Brown’s experience and leadership are assets to our blueline and locker room.” Brown, who was the first round pick (22nd overall pick) of the New York Rangers in 1996, has an extensive resume which includes four years of Junior “A” hockey in the Ontario Hockey League(OHL), as well as international experience. During the 1998-99 season, Brown represented his country by playing for Team Canada. The addition of Manley, Detulleo and Brown gives the K-Wings six players signed for the upcoming 2007-08 season, which will commence on Saturday, October 20th on the road against the Muskegon Fury. Also signed for next season are forwards Nick Bootland, Tyler Willis and defenseman Adam Elzinga Kalamazoo will open up the home portion of their schedule on Saturday, October 27th versus Muskegon during the 4th Annual Orange Ice Game. Season tickets for the upcoming 2007-2008 season of K-Wings Hockey are currently on sale at the Wings Stadium Ticket Office during their regular business hours of 9 a.m.-4p.m. or by calling the (269) 345-5101. Fans can save 15% on their season tickets by paying for their seats in full by September 15th. For more information regarding the signings of Mike Manley, Glenn Detulleo, and Jeff Brown please contact Mike Modugno, Director of Public Relations and Broadcaster at (269) 349-9772, extension 220. IT IS ODD NOT TO SEE OUR LEADING SCORER,ON THIS POST?

in the evening post didn't ellis say that he would hope to wrap the 2 final import signings by the start of august, which gives him at max 2 weeks, however although karlander is in the frame has anybody else heard any rumours about the 2nd line LW we are looking for, any clues (played in AHL etc) that we can work on, or are they still waiting to come out about it?
personally i think KK will be our new centreman but as for the LW i havent got a clue

any idea when he may be announced then ? This LW slot is making me curious now My thoughts on Karlander are probably shortly after the fixtures are announced Pidge, as it will help keep the local focus and build the hype on the forthcoming season Pidge. As to the LW signing, if the rumours of an ECHLer with AHL experience are correct, this is unlikely to happen until after 1 August, when the ECHL's system of 'Qualifying Offers' to club's better p0layers actually expire, and they become free agents if they haven't accepted the offer. sorry completely missed this post! hmmmmm the detective work begins......

One of my previous posts from 15 July on another thread may help: Sorry folks but Zultek signed for EC TREND Dornbirn of Austria on 20/6. OK, back to the drawing board! How about: Mike Scott - www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php3?pid=42539Steve Crampton - www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php3?pid=45178Ryan Kinasewich - www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php3?pid=45174Mike Vigilante - www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php3?pid=33815Lance Galbraith - www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php3?pid=25868The thing is, under the ECHL system of 'Qualifying Offers', they make contract offers to 8 players, and the players have until 1 August to accept or reject them, after which they become free agents, I believe. On the other hand, one interesting veteran in the ECHL with matching credentials, is none other than: Marty Flichel - www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php3?pid%5B%5D=23969Mmmm....

I really just hope they annouce Kory soon because this is starting to drive me mental!
We need another player now too!
I'd have no problems what-so-ever with Scott Ricci as a replacement for Rees.
And I'd LOVE to see Karlander in our shirt next season. Wheather that happens or not we'll just have to wait and see........... just not too long please!

Point taken with Ricci, but he has had a whole summer (which started early!) to get stronger and more confident with the shoulder AND he will have a point to make with the Steelers plus he has worked behind the scenes with Matsos for a season, anything that Matsos had up his sleave Ricci should know about!

Aye, damaged shoulders are always a worry - do they ever heal 100%? Ricci is an A1 professional though - as he showed in Sheffield. He never let himself be used in the Steelers/Panthers hype, though I'm sure the Steelers press machine would have been only too happy to have "guided" him. As far as I know, he never said a word against Nottingham. I'm quite sure he'd have some insight into DM's philosophy - afterall, Scott uses his brain not brawn to play hockey.

defering half his wage to have him as another assistant coach would probably mean he is affordable.
