The new Steelers signing…does absolutely nothing for me…barely scratched double figures in points. I understand the whole defensive forward part but those numbers look super poor for me

Thing is with the “clarity from the league” is they may feel they don’t need to clarify rumours that are started by people on the internet…if I came on here and said “we’re going with 17 imports” would the league need to come and deny this? It’a part of the social media game when people can post things and people start to take it as gospel.

Cardiff sign 5 Cole Sanford Trevor Cox Mac Carruth Brandon McNally Joshua Lammon None worry me and McNally looks poor IMO. Great remark and can’t wait to prove you wrong, we will win the league again this season, especially with our last few signings and these beauties. If you come close to us you will be doing very good indeed. Happy Hockey Days. 😂😂😂😂😂 I swear Cardiff could put a steaming pile of poo out and you’d tell us you’d win the league. Put the pop down and have a day off Glynn. Winning the league based on 33% of players signed across most teams is the Cardiff way....arrogant Probably tell us you’re fishing next but I think you really believe the stuff you say.

I’d agree. Nothing special but also nothing wrong with him. Fairly consistent points output and fairly young. A classic wait and see.

Why are the fixtures not out They had the fixtures meeting the other day Why are pampers not letting us know what they’re doing with remaining games on the season-ticket 2019 /2020 This is getting stupid that’s why a lot of people are not Signing up for season ticket and Also why can’t we have a direct debit option as Cardiff have done one It is stupid if you can’t pick it up at the Arena if they are making us have it posted they should pay the postage not us as it’s not our fault we are having to have it posted to us how come the power to sort this out I think it is disgraceful the organisation has done this and I need to sort this out ASAP so get off your back and sort this out please Coming on here, speaking in incoherent paragraphs is not going to get you anywhere. This forum has literally ZERO influence on any of this. The constant repetition of your issues on here will change NOTHING. Fixtures are usually released mid July. I get your frustration with the season ticket but none of us here can help And Panthers have explained the reason DD can’t be set up. Whether you agree or not has no bearing on your ability to change it. They’ve given people longer to save money to buy one 🤷♂️

Y’all know the guy on EIHL rumours just guesses right?! No evidence to any of his tweets. He’s got a couple right but nothing concrete. Problem with social media is you get one right and bam, people think you’re ITK. Don’t believe all the hype. Perlini would be daft to leave Panthers for Guildford. The reason Lee left is his partner was based in London…much like why Myers went back to Cardiff. Perlini may have been born in Guildford but outside of that, has no connections to the town as he moved away so young.
And people who don’t rate O’Connor…guys played in higher standard leagues than ours - outside of Kirk, who hasn’t played enough, he’s one of the very few British trained players who’s played in high quality leagues for a sustained period. Put him with the right D partner, he’ll be highly effective. With Brits, you get limitations so you then need to get imports who can complement those shortcomings. Because unless we go full import teams, you only have a limited pool you can call on. So you have to have a group of imports who cover those. O’Connor is dynamic going forward and solid in his own end. Make his d partner a big stay at home, let him do his thing and you’ll have a really good d partnership.

Can the 2 players returning recapture the magic coming back to Belfast? We’ve seen how sometimes the second time around isn’t as good as the first but can’t argue with the quality they’ve captured there!

There was always a worry the standard of the league would drop after the Covid lockout but so far, there’s been some decent pick ups all things considered.

Yotes and Pidge! Can't you swap WhatsApp details with each other and fight on there so we don't have to watch? Come on admin team this is getting silly now. We want news and hockey chat not this rubbish! Yotes is part of the admin team and it’s a reasoned debate. So no Samantha, we’re happy to keep this here. Thanks for your contribution to the signing thread though. On to the signing - like most players, we can only infer what we can see from stats. And like data, you can use the same set of data and get different outcomes depending on how you use it. Ultimately comes down to how the overall team is built. Not unhappy but still a Unknown quantity until he ices.

From listening to the interview with GM and Doucet, this appears to be the Talbot-esque signing. He probably won’t be a point a game but he’ll win you face offs and do a lot of the little things. If he can contribute like Talbot did, I’ll be happy.
I understand the trepidation with signings like this as well. I really hope the right attitude is there.

They were good enough to win it though. You don't have to win the first games, just the last ones. Clearly following the Panthers elite series mantra...

Staggering the amount of people on twitter really happy with the signing.. must be a nice pleasant chap. The only plus point I see with Carr is he knows Tims methods and knows the area. I think because a lot recognise he’s actually a very decent keeper. Granted, I get your opinion and I personally don’t agree with it. But he plays the puck well abs like you said knows the systems. We’ve been begging to build a core of players for years and we’re finally doing it. I don’t remember Carr making any glaring errors and certainily didn’t lose us many either.

A cut above.
Panthers are really doing all the right things. Keeping their best players, developing a core but also keeping the coaching team together. Ecstatic to have Matheson back

Arguably our 2 best “new” imports signed from the elite series.
Core being built. Young players who have proven themselves Players familiar with Wallace’s coaching,
Keep your NHLers, this is an exciting looking team already!

Lincs... in simple terms their owners are millionaires who are in it for the glory of winning rather than making money from the club and also the rink do not charge rental so any money made is profit... All in all adds up to alot of money spent on the players which other teams in the league cannot match... But also, when they get bored, the Devils will be in for a shock when their unsustainable model falls down.

Why did/ you watch it, if Black had made it would that have been okay, there again he don’t get too fanatical about his team. Seems like having owners who are also fans isn’t the done thing. They flew a paper aeroplane over to a player...it’s the literal definition of cringeworthy. And the worst part is, for a pre recorded video, they couldn’t even get it together!! If Black had made that, I would have said the exact same thing. I don’t know what you expect Glynn...Panthers forum and we’re not on here to pat the devils on the head. Call it as we see it...if you think the video is good, then congrats! But the reason I watched it is because I go into things with an open mind that it MIGHT have been worth my time...it was but for all the wrong reasons!

Just an FYI Wannabe...we don’t need separate threads for each devils signings.... we have a general one for other teams. Also, with the devils, new coach, new players. Their core won’t be what it used to be with Martin and Fournier leaving. Success with a rebuild takes time. I don’t share this idea that Cardiff will blow the league away. Comes down to coaching and culture. The devils have become a top team...but they aren’t progressing on the European front...they lost their last cup final...quite frankly, the “peak” years of the devils success didn’t bring them the level of trophies of Sheffield and Nottingham. By the way, the Devils just bloody annoy me, if that’s not obvious. Panthers have been burnt so many times by the ex-NHL player so many times. I’m with Pidge...an AHL player in his prime is usually a better pick up. For them to come out and say “he will be the best defenceman in the league” before anyone else signs an import D man is laughable Who and where did anyone say he would be the best D Man in the league, missed that one. Watch the cringeworthy video your owners made!

I can understand the fascination from fans with players like this...that character who fans pull towards. For me, it comes down to him fitting into a role within the team. He’s going to take penalties but he’ll draw in opposition players with him. As long as he’s putting him 0.5 PPG, I think he’s a very good addition. It’s nice to see us keeping imports for more than one season as well.
