Manchester seem to be signing some decent quality looking players,like the guy today Trevor Johnson. He looks like he should have been a Panthers signing if ever there was one. Not sure who's bankrolling Manchester though,because on crowds of little over 1000 they seem to be signing two or three players they shouldn't be ! You sound jealous Iggy lol I'm glad Manchester are attracting quality guys. It helps when you have people like Russell selling the club well who seems well liked. I do like the look of that Heatley fella !

That my team Panthers,the team that should be able to capture the signature of pretty much any player looking to come to play in Britain,seem oblivious to some of these good quality guys that sign elsewhere. Yes,look at Heatley. What on earth is he doing in Manchester !

Do from Corey's interview we're looking at 3 D men and A Forward... Well either Corey can't count,or we are going an import short again,because that would only make 13 imports ! As for that latest o/s recruitment update......I wasted two minutes of my life listening to that crap,what a waste of an interview that was !!

Yes,look at Heatley. What on earth is he doing in Manchester ! It's not like Johnson is the best defenceman to ever grace the Elite League now is it? There's plenty out there better and Corey as ever, is working to find the RIGHT players, not the stats wise-eye candy. Johnson is solid, brilliant addition to a strengthening Storm side which is great to see. Johnson lacks size and speed anyway, he's 34 and will need a quick, solid defenceman by his side or he'll be getting torn to shreds. Opposition sides just need to cut out the chances of him getting the puck and closing down the open players. We've got 3 Import Defence to sign and hopefully Oakford will be retained too. One more Import forward and one more Brit, Ben Davies' name keeps cropping up and he'd be a good addition to the roster. We will have a competitive roster together come August.

I know people hate this stuff but I'm board so I'm doing it anyway, the lines could look like the following ? Moran Schultz Clarke Lawrence Brown Lacho Davies Betteridge Farmer Macmillan Janssen Dimmen ? Waugh ? Lee ? So we could be going 5 import D, signing one more import forward and going an import short to start with? Thoughts?

We have to go 5 import D. I'd rather have 5 import D than 4 lines, definitely.

If we are signing three more import D,then we need TWO more import forwards......and they had better be two damn good ones looking at our forwards so far.

Oakford is likely to return, Ben Davies is rumoured to be heading down here... One more Import forward and 3 Import D with one being a quick, offensive type defenceman who can play forward too.. After that we'll be looking solid. Plenty of time left and Corey sounds upbeat so i've got faith.

Listen to Corey's interview fella. He's said we've got A (one) forward to sign and 3 Defencemen, i'm assuming he's only talking about Imports. Throw Oakford and Davies in there and you've got your 4 lines and the option to bring in another import, or an Import Back Up Goalie.

Oh yes,I learnt that a long long time ago. The question is,have the clowns that put Panthers team together learnt that you cannot do it. Just sign the maximum imports from the start and cut/replace if better becomes available,why on earth would you hinder yourself by starting short. It's not as if you have to stick to your original roster. Neilson just doesn't have the bottle to cut somebody though.

Well we have learnt something because we're going 5 import D.
3 brit D last year was overkill.

Somebody tell me. Why would you start an import short to save a slot,when you are able to cut and replace players at will if a better player becomes available later.
If you had to stick to what you had originally signed then i could understand the logic,but you don't.

If you had to stick to what you had originally signed then i could understand the logic,but you don't. Because giving the guys you've signed a chance is better than saying 'If _____ becomes available, one of you is heading out the door'. That'd be a ridiculous way to run a team. Corey gives players a chance, he likes to give Brits a chance and say in late November or December, after the Continental Cup 1st Round, the opportunity is there to add a player to the roster to try and boost the team. Cutting and replacing players all season won't get anyone anywhere but lower in the standings. You need chemistry and cohesion to win trophies and doing that would do the opposite. We know what we're getting with the players we've signed so far so Corey just wants to fill in the gaps left by players who've gone their seperate ways.

If this is the route we are going down Mosey leaving could be a blessing in disguise as him as the final forward in that line up looks very lightweight on the goals for. As said with all due respect to Ollie and probably Lacho they should be fighting for the 12th spot while two more imports go about their business. 5 import D looks the way forward though.

Its not just staight goals we look short of who are our play makers? I will be concerned if we only sign 1 more forward unless hes immense. But we do need to get 3 more d men. 2 stay at home and one for transition guy.

I guess that's why Sheffield ended up lower in the standings and had no cohesion last season then when they cut Mike Duco after 20 games is it ? Oh no wait......they went on to win the league didn't they ! This is professional sport not some kindergarten friendly game,i don't pay my money to watch my team being nice. Every hockey player in the world knows that getting cut is part n parcel of the hockey world,every single one of them. You have just demonstrated in your post exactly what is wrong with Nottingham Panthers philosophy,they do not do everything they can to win !

After what he has said today, we are either A) looking at 1 F and 3 D because we've already signed a Brit forward and another import forward and he's dropped a ball forgetting that they've not been announced Or B) we are only looking at 1 F and 3 D, a Brit forward is signed and we are going to to go an import short to start the season Or C) it's just a mistake that people, including me, are reading too much into I'm hoping its option A or C and not B because if we go an import short with the forwards we've got so far, as you say we aren't going to be a high scoring team
