Blooming brilliant.

[allingtonskates]

great news

[Bagheera]

It's not really appropriate to use crude emojis on here to symbolise how happy I am with this.

Excellent news. Not just a bums on seats guy(No doubt a big reason he is first to be announced). He can be so effective in a game when used to his full potential.
Knows his role and does it to perfection.

[Bolts]

Credit where credits due. Well done panthers

[Sheetmaself]

Now give him captain.

Seriously you want a captain to give 100% every shift, then he's your man.

[kezypanther]

Awesome news.

Think there more signings already not announced to.

By know means the first to bring it up when I say this but..

He can be what Keefe is to Belfast and possibly more.

[Bagheera]

Cricky. He already get one of the biggest cheers i've ever heard a player get when skating out.

Add this news and playoff atmosphere and the roof could blow off.

Yes! Even at the NIC library!

[Deleted]

Epic news, absolutely delighted.

Very well done Panthers. Rare to say that these days but this is fantastic.

Statement signing by Panthers with 2 years.

How many people (Panthers as well as fans of other teams) thought he'd be gone by Christmas. Turned out to be one of the smartest and controlled enforcers on the block.

Let him ring his mates from the NHL & AHL and sell them the dream here too!

[ted logan]

Top, top news.

Delighted.

[Ghost]

Got to make him captain!

Agreed and sign Mosey and Kolnik next please!

[Bolts]

Does someone fancy putting a petition together to get him as captain?

That is, if he wants it, if the coach wants him too have it

[mmmbop]

Fantastic news!
I never have much luck with players I like they normally leave after a year so pleased with this

[iginla]

Excellent news that........Can we have Kolnik and Mosey next please.

[shmyrohdear]

Think everyone's gettin a bit carried away, you want your captain being on the ice for a fair margin of the game so unless his ice time is ramped up then i wouldn't want this happening. You need your captain out there leading by example.

Not to say he wouldn't be brilliant but given his lack of ice time for the majority of games it seems a bit pointless.

[Bolts]

But towards the end of the campaign when Corey removed his blinkers and played him more, we played better.
He should of had a lot more ice time than he did, and to be fair, he did more than clarkey in the little time he had.

-yes, like david clarke the 4th liner.

Janssen does need more ice time however

If you have the right captain who creates a winning team,you aren't chasing a goal very often,so you don't have to bench your 3rd/4th lines where Cam would be !

[Yotes]

Dunno about captain etc, but pleased to see him signed up on a long term deal.

[allingtonskates]

I have a feling mosey will be back after signing last year and saying how much he loved it here when we won the CC.

That's not the point though, look at any successful captain from any league, they see the ice a lot because they lead on the ice in clutch moments and they lead by example. Not only is his ice time a factor but would you want him worrying about a captaincy role as well as policing the team too? Not saying ofc it's even going to hamper him in that way but it's something to consider.

Keefe can captain his side well but his role as their tough guy has also been lessened with the likes of Vandermeer and Nickerson being on the roster.
