This would be a big signing for us! Although according to Elite Prospects and hockey DB he plays LW surely we need a face-off winning centre?

Hopeful thinking or an actual rumour? Actual rumour, he's with a team in Czech Republic but i don't think he's actually been playing. I wouldnt class it as a rumour as he hasnt been linked with the panthers unless im missing something, its just a player that you would like at the panthers. If thats the case we could list any decent player who isnt playing or is without a club.

Adam may well have heard that we are in contact with him. He was responding to a question raised.

I was simply saying that there was no documented proof to show that we are linked with the player. If Adam has insider knowledge then fair enough but maybe should have stated this.

Does not seem to be much news on the replacement for Sproat. Could do with a guy in soon as Galbraith and Zion are struggling for fitness and we have a busy December coming up.
As it now seems confirmed that there is no wage cap It would be great to make a statement with a real quality player. Preferably a centre for me. Maybe a slightly older guy to complement the younger lads and to keep a cool head in the big moments and win us those important face offs.
Here's hoping for some news soon.

Now he's what you call an ex NHLer, not these players who get bigged up who have played the odd game here and there.

If this guy signs, we win the league. it's as simple as that. Wonder what sort of wage he would command?

Wonder how well he would adapt to life in Nottingham...
"Has had issues with discipline and consistency in the past. His motivation and drive have also been questioned"

Wow! You have to try pretty hard to find a negative with that potential signing!

It doesn't matter how good a persons stats are/were if they do have issues with discipline, motivation etc this must be taken into consideration. If you read the above you could be summing up a former player of ours and a possible future Dundee signing if you believe the rumours, and we all know how many people have slated him on here for his attitude. It's not a case of finding fault in a player, it's a case of looking at the whole package and not just some of the parts.

So a bloke with nearly 500 NHL games has no drive?
Dear me...

I believe Morten Ask is a more realistic signing..

A bloke with 500 NHL games would have had drive, but after the highlight of his career is over has he the drive to play in a league far below that standard. I can't answer that he still doesn't have drive based on statistics alone but likewise no one can prove he has on his statistics either.

Surely the time that's been taken signing sproats replacement cannot be entirely down to "not being in a rush" if they'd found the right guy I would hope and have faith in management to get him signed, is it looking like we are struggling to find the right guy?

Agree We need to get a replacement asap imo with Jade out injured and a couple of players with niggles

What's Doug Sheppard up to these days? Can't see that he joined any other team after the Steelers gassed him!

What's Doug Sheppard up to these days? Can't see that he joined any other team after the Steelers gassed him! Firstly, How very dare you!? The Steelers would never gas a loyal family member. He will obviously have left with a golden handshake and a nice fat pension. Secondly, Were you being serious? Why would we want a clapped out Sheila's reject?
