I dont think he is a player who helps you win a League
He is too inconsistent and often will go missing not just in matches but for a series of matches
I realise he is hugely talented
But I feel that releasing him would send a huge statement out to show that next season winning the League is number one priority
I want a team of solid, consistent hard working players to go out and get the number one priority job done next season
So I have voted to release him
If Corey let him move on it would be a clear indication that Corey has learnt from past mistakes IMO
Would send a message out to the rest of the League as well that Panthers mean business next season
If a rival club signs him I see that as a bonus rather than something to worry about - the club he signs for will take on some of his inconsistency

He can go missing sometimes, as can a lot of players in this league. But would I get rid of him? No. I don't think its a coincidence that Clarke has played with Galbraith all year and got his best numbers. Jade has made some well publicised mistakes which probably cost him the respect of some of the fans and some of the players at the club. Its a team sport and one person on that team doesn't wholly dictate whether we win the league or not.
I genuinely do think Jade cares about this club, its fans and winning trophies. He's been here 3 years and we've won 3 trophies. Yes its not the league but we've had hundreds of players before him who haven't won the league for us either. We've won 2 trophies since the Belfast debacle, played great hockey at times but most of all we've seen the players have some pride in the shirt and play with heart. If jades back next year, which I really hope he is, he will have 100 percent backing from me

Jade used to be the talisman - no longer IMO K-wall, Bellamy and Lepine are the backbone of this team now All three solid players that we need to build around We need flair and talent around them for sure but I believe Jade has had his time now

Or Cardiff did a good job of nullifying him. No player should be expected to win every game for his club,.. Remember it was Galbraith who duped Adams into giving him the puck to set Myers up to score to get us straight back into it,.. later he made the pass of the game to find Clarke out front but Lyle made the crucial save. Galbraith is flawed,. if he wasn't,. he wouldn't be in the UK. When we are up against it, the majority look to him to change it,.. for the most part he will come up with something,.. sometimes he won't. His stats speak for themselves,.. Keep him.

Agree 100% he is flawed, hes also too good to let go especially if it means he'd go to another team in this league

Match winner when he can be bothered, which isn't often enough. A luxury we can't afford if we're serious about a season long title challenge, rather than intense effort over a few games. (...even then he was "missing" over PO weekend).

Jade is too good to let go But surely he is on big wages - there must be good alternatives we could replace him with ? Who are the best players at some of the lesser clubs who may not be able to compete with us if it comes to money ?

Should be the first one out of the door if you ask me. Inconsistent, not a team player, numerous off ice "incidents" and seems to have no desire to actually improve.

I think his passion is there, but his fraustrations can get the better of him and needs to be controlled. He can seem to give up easy if things dont go his way, but with some carefull coaching this could be sorted. He has the skill, without a doubt and in the end would you want to be facing him in an opposing team?

His disinterest this season appeared to start after the Panthers had allegedly declined to offer him a 2 year contract that he wanted, followed by the much publicised Belfast debacle. To me, he seems more interested in partying and developing the cult of 'Jade' than fully engaging in the aspirations of the club. Later on this season, in the 16-0 hammering of Edinburgh - ironically, one of the games he did appear up for, I was disgusted to see him chasing the Referee around the ice to claim assists - cut a sad figure in my eyes! Last weekend, his lack of effort / commitment was exposed even more by the superb Lacho and Bellamy, and it was plain to fans of other teams as well - even a Sheffield fan commented that if we got rid of Jade, we may even win the League next season! Time to go I think - Corey has probably done more than any other Coach to get Jade to reform his ways, but I think if Corey returns as Coach, which is almost inevitable now, even he has to admit defeat, and let him become someone else's problem child.

Fantastic player on his day. But there are not enough of those days for my liking, and the poor off-ice discipline is unacceptable.
Must say, he was totally anonymous for most of the playoff final then to see him bigging himself up and conducting fans singing his name as though he had won the game single-handed left a bit of a sour taste.
Wonderful skills and I have enjoyed seeing him play immensely when on form (look at some of the finishes on the highlight reel they kept running on the scoreboard over the weekend), but an "all or nothing" player and I would prefer to sacrifice occasional brilliance for consistency in pursuit of a league title.

Im not sure but part of the problem maybe Jade doesn t need to work, hes playing more as a hobby as i understand hes from a decent background and just seems to coast most of the time. His time in Nottingham now is surely up. I feel if we could upgrade on Van Hoof, and possibly Angel who will retire i think get two solid d men in and keep the core who finished the season we could make a good run for it next year.

It's going to be a case of if we have sexy neilson hockey next year, then we'll be seeing Mr. Galbraith in a panthers shirt too.

Hmm. You gotta love Panther fans.
Jade is third highest point scorer in the league. Second only to Pelle in points per game. Highest number of assists in the league.
It's amazing how many people want our better players to go. If players were signed by Cage Forum vote we'd lose three of our top 6 scorers - the top two and the best offensive defenceman we've had for probably ever.
That's A LOT of points to try and replace from elsewhere.
