Corey will be waiting on Kolnik. I'm sure he's got a list of forwards incase Kolnik rejects is but I can't see us signing or trying to sign another forward till Kolnik's future is clear. Be bad management to either promise a new guy a contract, for Kolnik to put a spanner in the works, or Kolnik to say yes but Corey already have a replacement.
Defencemen are the priorities at the moment but Corey isn't in a rush to sign anyone any time soon

Kind of guessing, kind of using logical thinking based on what Corey has said. Read all the interviews and it forms a great idea of what's going on. It's alright for people to pluck random forwards out, it's interesting no doubt but with Kolnik on the cards, it's pretty obvious Corey will have him top of the list and not promising any other forward out there anything. Then for defenceman.. we've got 2/3 left to sign and Corey said in his interview that he's in no rush. Nothing i say is stuff i make up, the site is full of garbage as it is.

Panther's are waiting for Kolik but he's not center/faceoff player, with only Brad Moran a out and out center, surely they must be looking for a another one, or are they just going light in that department.

The Davies signing is speculation, for me I would sooner have a good import center than over paid Brit that averages 30pts a season.
Would love to see last season faceoff stats, last season seeing Lacko and 1 or 2 others trying to win faceoff was a joke!!!!!!!!
It's MacMillan not McMillan

Edit. I couldn't give a monkey's if I got his name wrong. Everyone knew who I meant.

I'm not sure about Davies to be honest not getting why we are going for him allegedly. On paper if we sign him all our signings would be either meh signings or wait and see signings. With the other teams signing players with more proven quality it's a little concerning to say the least. Don't get me wrong I think a line with lawrence Carter and brown could work very nicely, but if they don't play as well as its being hinted that's a lot of pressure. Surely lawrence should have a storming season, he has two of his best mates on the line with him, they have been signed with him in mind.

I'm not massively excited by Davies and it would be a downgrade on Myers more than likely but we do need 1 more capable Brit.

An import centre a bit like the one Sheffield just signed,John Armstrong. Mmmm,Steelers sign him,Belfast get Saviano and Foster,even the Caps get an NHLer and what do we get ? We get a load of guff from Corey about being patient and him asking for more points from,wait for it.......Betteridge ! Wow just wow !

Looks like it's coming down to can hard work out do talent when we match our roster to others so far. Sheffield have added what looks another good player but everything is wait and see. with Lawrence and friends on one line it leave it up in the air as to who's on the other. If Kolnik (or similar) is signed would we role Schultz Moran Kolnik - Brown Lawrence Carter as our top 2 then see what we can muster for the other 2? Either way we've got abit of time for it all to be finalised and we ain't having set lines for a while anyway. This off seasons dragging.

We've got four import slots left, when we compare our forward line up to others it is very worrying, personally after the recent signings by other teams I think we need to add a total of two import forwards, so Kolnik/top-scorer and another import centre of high quality. This would mean we would have two import slots left for D and we can use the ever reliable Oakford as sixth d-man, the two new import D will have to be top players though.

No brit could replace Myers ... but I'd take Davies as 4th line centre everyday and no he won't be signed IN PLACE of a import jeez !! I guarantee if we signed Armstrong they'd be plenty of mehs! and 'I was expecting better' etc Belfast have signed 2 superstars but a shame their coach is bang average. I'm not a corey fan but you know we ll play a good level of hockey come September and if things ain't working out he ll change things!! But this is the cage , it's always good for a midweek laugh/smile

And still won nowt and got out coached over 6 periods of playoff hockey. Like what's been said times. We finished 5th purely to not replacing injured players.. Green was in goal when we lost 5 ... that was 10 points ... 10 !!!!

I always forget that no one else ever gets any injuries.
And you're right, the outcome of 2 games at the end of his first season as a coach certainly proves how "bang average" he is.

And he had more excuses last season than Neilson has in 8 years! Other teams do get injuries but not to a no1 goalie and expect them to back up for 4 or 5 games and steal wins!!! Big difference

I seem to remember Brad Day playing a fair few for the Yorkies, turned out OK for them. We also had two starting netminders on the books for large chunks of the season.
We dropped plenty of games with a full compliment, far too easy to dismiss it all to injuries. We were inconsistent throughout.

Besides Day is far far superior to Green! No team dropped/gifted points as the Panthers did . A fully fit roster were pretty impressive. And finally Panthers were NOT 5th best last season
