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. Im not sure part of me thinks you won t be seeing much of this sexy neilson hockey as hes realised it doesn t win you tight games

So we should get rid of Jade who as has been stated was the third highest points scorer in the league and who has recorded more points each season in the 3 years he has been a Panther. I am not saying he is an angel far from it but the ability is there and if he goes who are we going to realisticly going to get in to replace him. If he had not been injured he would have possoble been top points scorer in the league this season. The club handed out internal discipline for the incident in Belfast and that shpuld be that. With regards to showing his frustration on the ice when things don't work out that then that shows that he is trying and is annoyed with himself when he screws up. I will agree that he did not have a great play-off series but he still put up impressive figures again. I would love him to be back.

Im not too sure about letting Jade go but I would rather sign Beauregard, Hareema, Tkaczuk, Bellamy & Ryan over Jade.
If we let him go he would be snapped up by another team in the league and I could see him becoming more consistent just through spite in an effort to beat us.

reminds me of the situation in Sheffield when they had big nose, noone there wanted him to go (iirc along with others) but blaiser replaced his (and others) points with hard working players who won the league for them....

Release. Yes he is very talented but he spends too much time moaning at the ref. If he concentrated on playing more he would probably be in a better league than this. Wasted talent imo.
Often he will be moaning at the ref when the play is down the other end when he should be back helping he just isnt.

Who would you rather keep Billy Ryan or Jade?

He has the skill, without a doubt and in the end would you want to be facing him in an opposing team? I would relish the chance. Seen it countless times this season, wind him up and watch him go. Once your under his skin the dummy flies out the pram and he's more concerned with mouthing off than playing.

Craig Patrick: You're missing some of the best players. Herb Brooks: I'm not looking for the best players, Craig. I'm looking for the right ones.
I always liked this quote from the film 'Miracle on Ice'. It sums up ice hockey for me - we've had the stars of the show and the former NHL'ers and some have been better than others. Some have been lousy! To win the league we need a strong united team not a group of individuals. For me Jade has always been an individual with huge potential and skill but is he part of the team?

It was very noticeable that each time Moran tried to conduct the fans to sing Hey Jade, that there were far more people not singing. He has had a good run here, but I think his time may be at an end.
I think Billy Ryan is a far more exciting player to watch, and with a full season now behind him, will go on to stronger things.

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 ? Not true - in the top 10 earners (and only just!!) at the club but on way less than you would expect. I'd keep him - best playmaker in the league, yes he's got his flaws that's why he's in the EIHL. Talentwise he's up there and maybe in a few years he'll look back and think he could have achieved so much more in the game. You look at that line he's on and you could find fault with any part of the 3 players games but if you look at the positives, you've got Myers (grafter) Jade (playmaker) and Clarke (goalscorer) and it's clicked this year. You wouldn't get the same from a line of 3 Jades/3 Myers/3 Clarkes. Career best seasons points/goals wise for the 2 Brits and whilst that's not all down to Jade, he's surely played a part in that. He's an enigma for sure but one I'd rather have on my team than against us.

Jade may be our top point scorer this season, but if he leaves, we'll definitely have a new top points scorer next season. By giving his slot to someone else, we could improve immensely.

Coaches choice for me. Only those dealing with Jade on a day to day basis really know how he is in training and the dressing room?
We've all seen his disgraceful antics, he should have been sacked then and there, we would have had a shot at the league IMO.
He looked like a man playing out the season imo, we shall see.

Jade out for me, how many of those assists did he genuinely deserve without chasing the ref?
Granted skill in abundance but he"s lazy and isn't a team player just to name a couple of his undesirable traits.

Don't know - would guess at the ex-NHLers being on a fair packet along with Corey and maybe even the top end Brits such as Meyers and Clarke. After that, i suppose it depends whether you count the 'Uni deal' boys. As I say he's only just in the top 10 so there are several being paid more than him.

He messed up big style yet again this season. He has had too many chances. Get rid and get someone else. Plenty more players out there.

as ted logan says Galbraith is on miles less than anyone would expect, he comes from a wealthy background so isn't to bothered about the £. I'm undecided on this one but it would be a near to impossible task IMO to find a player as good as him on the same money

I'm undecided on this one but it would be a near to impossible task IMO to find a player as good as him on the same money Precisely. His previous season's with us would hardly have put him in line for a huge payout. Difficult to find anyone as good to play in this lague regardless of the money.

I think people should give jade a bit of slack i know he is no angel but his numbers don't lie. Its not simple a case of keeping the ex nhlers do they want to stay they could get alot more playing in europe or america. I know jade had a dip in form and the comment had been made that if he went we would have a new highest point scorer. Remember clarkie had a dip aswell if he went we would have a new top british point scorer not that i want him to go of course. Fans are fickle and his popularity has suffered but he is still a proven player and should stay.

Skill wise...would have him in a Blaze shirt in a shot....
But we have had a season with a Player very similar ( Chambers ) not playing to their abilities..and rumoured off ice distractions...
If Jade could behave himself...oh yes please.....
If not....i honestly dont know...

Let Galbraith go and you can replace him easily enough.
Keep him though and you won't replace our key brits easily...........because if Jade is here next year then we had better have Weaver and Shields waiting in the wings to sign for us !!!!!!!!
