Do the Caps have any scholar positions available for any of their players? If they could get some of their 'big earners' one that it would reduce the wage they would have to pay. Also I assume their Brits won't be on anything close to the rest in the league which will help. Think they must look at every way to save money where possible and just live off sponsorship money.
Enough of the Caps though with panthers last D man position I'd like to see either: Gui Lepine Brennan Evans Jon Landry (former braehead player 54 points in 56 games)

Gui Lepine esque would be perfect

Is Lepine a free agent? I thought he re-signed with Binghampton.

Given that he's proved himself at (nearly) the highest level, he will want to stay at that level for a few more years before even considering stepping down to EIHL level again.

Blaze's Rob Plaister has said next week will be as big for signings around the league, i asked if Panthers would be one of them and he used a sad face so that could mean we'll be making a big signing. Whilst Lepine is still good enough for the AHL, i wouldn't totally dismiss a chance of him returning, still supports us and our players. He played more AHL games last season than anyone else on Binghamtons roster but age is a big factor in his future, they'll be able to find someone younger and of similar or better quality who is probably cheaper unfortunately for Gui. He'd be an expensive signing though unless he took a low offer because it's us, minimum contract in the AHL is around £34,500 a year.

I hope Gui doesn't come back yet. He should be pushing himself as far as he can and good luck to him.

I think from his position now, Lepine should be looking at the DEL, Austrian EBEL or a Scandinavian league.
Would love him back but he has more in him.

It's ok saying he should look into Europe or Scandinavia but sometimes it comes down to the language spoken of the country and some players tend to go where they can speak and understand the language. I'm sure I've read about a few panthers players expressing their relief in being in an English speaking country. Have to see what happens, either Lepine or Lepine esc is what we need along with Kolnik or better

NLA perhaps too high a league for Gui but NLB wouldn't be a bad shout. I do feel like he'd come back here if he moves to Europe though, he's nearing the end of his prime years and may want to go somewhere familiar and perhaps settle down a bit, give him a one year deal and then a Uni Deal next year, sorted!

Signings around the league today and the rest of this off season look great really hope we get a stud on defence with kolnik or another high quality scorer on the top line. I know it's been said a lot but other teams look to have a lot more fire power up front so Hopefully we can bring in a big defensive d man that can quite down their scoring power.

Some very good signings being made elsewhere yes. If that's the kind of talent and quality that's going to the smaller teams......then "what should" Panthers be getting ! And what are we going to get ? It had better be very very good that's for sure.

I'd imagine it'd be an entirely different story had we signed them (any of them).

Binghamton have 7 D men signed, last year they had 14 through the season but 7 of those played less than 20 games a lot of those playing under 10 games so I assume they're call ups from the ECHL. Lepine played 69 games yet hasn't resigned. Maybe it's just the storm we're creating on here but a big signing is coming to the league and supposedly panthers. It has to be Lepine . . . Right?

Lepine played 69 games yet hasn't resigned. Maybe it's just the storm we're creating on here but a big signing is coming to the league and supposedly panthers. It has to be Lepine . . . Right? 2 of the 7 are Undrafted and coming into Binghamton straight out of Juniors. Both have strong stats and don't look like the type of players Binghamton will want to send to Evansville without having gotten a good amount of playing time under their belts to prove themselves. There's still a space or two for Lepine, the spaces are going quickly though and whilst i hope he continues to play a solid role in the AHL, i would expect his age isn't appealing nor the potential contract demands (Youngsters want less). Lepine was on the Top D pairing for parts of the season, played a strong role with the team and played more games than anyone else though so it's a tough one to predict. I'd love to get Lepine back though, he's just what we need to fill the last spot on defence with his toughness and strong ability actually playing defence. Part of me feels he may want a Uni Deal with him heading into the 30's, perhaps have a year with us and then take a Uni Deal before retiring or something.

Makes you wonder doesn't it, I wouldn't put it past us to sign Lepine, where did you hear of the big signing ?

Lol I don't expect both our last two signings will be better either.....but they should be ! We should have a roster full of players like that.

Someone on here mentioned they spoke to a guy in Coventry and he said a big signing was coming in and when asked it it was to panthers he gave him a look which indicated so, perhaps in the rumours section? It's somewhere in the last few days.

Fingers crossed though!
