When Pease is saying they've decided not to retain, does that include the players saying no thanks? I thought it was pretty well known that Boris didn't really want to be there? And as you say, I find it hard to believe that if Tanaka wanted back in they wouldn't sign him.

I'd take Lauzon at Panthers.
As much as I rate Tanaka too, I feel he'd be better at one of the "smaller" teams.

Good signing for Braehead, bit of a bodge by Belfast letting him get away though I would think?

Walser seemed very unhappy with certain players last season, making threats to cut on a number of occasions, eventually backing down suggesting it wasn't that easy ... inferred to me it was likely a Brit problem. Was expecting it to be Shields though if I'm honest.

Very good pick-up for Clan...although hasn't been the same player since his brief Euro jaunt a couple of seasons ago.
Wouldn't have said no to him coming to Panthers.

Something tells me Mr Walser isn't very popular,but he does always seem a miserable sod ! Virtually no Brits left in Belfast soon at this rate.

A lot of teams seem to be making a load of signings early this season? Other than Edinburgh and Coventry, every team seems to be strong. This could be a very interesting season.

I would like Batch in to replace Swindlehurst but he's signed up for another season at Cardiff. Maybe we will go with 5 import D from the start + Lee, with Oakford as a spare?

Currently have, by my calcs, 9 (6+3) imports signed from a game night max of 14 (11+3), so if we put 5 imports into the defence it'd leave us with 2 more on the forwards, which leaves us needing 2 Brit forwards to make 4 lines. Could do that with Clarke & Myers of course, but if one of them doesn't return you'd be looking at maybe Betteridge, but does CN really like him for a regular shift? Oakford could be played #6 of course too, and use another import on the forwards, but he's not even signed up yet.

Surely then Panthers must have released him as initially they said he was on loan & Corey stated he was definatley part of future plans, very strange as Corey was after him for a couple of seasons & even chased him while he was GB assistant. One can only assume he's either surplus to requirements or he's ruffled some feathers while he was here. Good luck to the lad anyway.

Or he had his feathers ruffled by being shunted out mid-season and thought sod 'em?
Even if he was on a 2yr deal, I'm guessing there'd be a standard notice period.

Reading between the lines i suspect that its a personal issue why he was let go. I think Corey had a problem with his attitude. He did get benched mid season even when we were short of bodies. If we lose both Myers and Clarke our brit position is looking abit shakey.

If we do sign 3 import d men, would Lawrence and Kolnik be enough fire powerup front. Or if we go with 2 import d men do we trust Oakford for a full season? Im not convinced either way, interesting to see what happens...

But if we go with thuat option and it doesnt work out the way we want it to you have very little room for change. I yhink think that is option of the 2 i would prefer.
