If I'm correct we have the following players on 2 year deals with Loughborough university Dimmen Moran Waugh
And Lee on a multi year deal- not sure if Clarke has another year too
I'd definitely put Mosey, Macmillan and bombach on my list to 're-sign
What are others thoughts

As above,delete Bombach and add Janssen and Kolnik

I think both Clarke and Farmer are on 'long term deals'.

Kolnik,Mosey and Macmillan would be the first three imports i would want back in addition to the multi year guys,plus Schmidt if he plays on next year.

cant help but feel if we kept this team for next season and have the settled lines and better luck on the injury front we'd take the league. Lawrence has changed my opinion with his performances of late. Big fan of the defence we've got just need to cut the mistakes.

I don't know who the leader in the locker room is but Clarke sure isn't doing the job. could do with someone like fox.

I don't know about anyone else but I'd be happy with this whole team back but with consistent fixed lines, fresh ideas, a different captain as Clarke doesn't seem a very good leader imo and a bit of luck with injuries. We arguably have the best roster in the league but have a coach that doesn't use their full potential that is available from the players and is frequently out coached by player coaches still learning the trade.

Ben Simon could be a great coach and has previous experience in EIHL but doubt he would leave an Assistant Coaching role in the AHL for us.

just seen this on twitter and would be great if we could do this
Perhaps if Panthers followed steelers lead by re signing key players for next season early they'd be more successful But they are too short sighted to realise this. Steelers manage to retain key players to build on it.

OK agree with all this but we are still to finish this season and miraculously we are still in all three competitions!!!

We are not in the title race. It went at Christmas as it has done the past 3 years. Neilson out, Moran out, black out.
I am not adverse to signing the majority of this squad again but my first signing would be wiikman, I think he's proved solid in this league. I'd also try to poach a couple of players from other clubs, probably breaking some 'gentlemans agreement' but screw or id want to win at all costs.

You can see how people view individuals differently ... Wiikman has been ok, but he hasn't won me over to want him back next season. Even at the early stages of the season when he had unbelievable stats, i thought that was more of a reflection on our D at that time rather than Mika ... and similarly when the stats went bad, i thought it was the D that had gone backwards and Mika's performances little changed. Probably in the minority in that view, i know.

Steelers manage to retain key players to build on it. Last year aside (because we didnt sign the coach up that quickly, ... and because of Brits playing GB (I think)) we have, imo, generally been very quick to get the squad signed in comparison to the rest of the league. With that there were some criticisms that we were signing too early, and with that likely paying over the odds for the pleasure ... and that we should therefore wait and get potential quality players that had been waiting it out for better offers. It's a double-edged sword.

Seems to be a popular take on 16/17 to keep the main players and i'd not complain on that count.

If we keep our core players we should be in with a chance next year. Mass clear out and start over again would be a HUGE mistake.

For me, of the imports Wiikman, Schmidt, Mosey, MacMillan, Janssen, Kolnik, Schultz and Bohmbach (together) should definitely be retained. Lawrence I'd feel fine if he returned or didn't, but given the right line mates he should return too. I haven't been able to see the two new D men so can't pass judgement on them, but by all accounts they're solid players so I guess the same applies. I do feel that an inspirational import should be made captain. Leave Clarke to find the twine, which when he focuses on doing, he does very well. Fox embodied everything of a captain. Heart, Passion, Leadership, Teamwork and he grabbed games by the scruff of the net. For me, if we didn't pull out all the stops to re-sign Janssen, I'd be exceptionally disheartened. His presence on the ice is the most obvious deterrent that I've seen in a long time, through both his body checking and his obvious toughness. He has done the enforcer role, like Fitzgerald at Sheffield, perfectly in my opinion. He's been there when needed, rather than going looking for it for no reason, like someone like Penner. A real class act and I for one want us to build a team around what he can bring us. Apologies if anyone disagrees with anything I've said, just my humble. Regards.

Am I right in thinking that the import limit increases next season as well?

I would like to see us ditch Lacho and put that money in addition to the wages of a normal import,towards bringing in a serious quality difference making import.
Imagine the fun you could have dangling twice the normal imports wages......or about £1500 a week under somebody's nose !
