Being fit, and being match fit are two completely different things.
I just think that a couple of games outside of the EIHL would be beneficial when it comes to things like sharpness, etc.

What lower-league team is going to want to disrupt their roster for a couple of games just to give an admittedly-skilled player a bit of conditioning time? Plus there would probably be registration issues, etc etc...

Send him to the Lions for a bit ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) In all seriousness, Octobers a big month for us ficture wise. If Danny can be for any part of it, then great but I just hope theres no rustiness (which Im sure there won't be) to his game. It may be a case of we ease him back in to the fold at first.

If an NHL player wanted to play a weekend or 2 for Panthers for free in order to get match fit, I reckon we'd disrupt our roster for a bit to give them a shot. P.S. in the case of Meyers, I reckon we may as well have him at Panthers rather than a team in another league. It's not like having him fit but not match fit would hurt us even if he can only manage a couple of shifts. If he was an import and we had cover for him then I could see the point in getting him match fit before coming back, but as a Brit it's not like anyone would have to make way for him. As long as he's recovered he may as well play.
