Not sure if anyone has mentioned this guy. Looks like the big stay at home d man that we needed last year imo. Plus, he is the son of former Peterborough player Cam Plante who i remember very fondly from all those years ago. LinkEx-NHLer who is still only 28, can defend, can fight, would be a great addition imo.

Derlago has been mentioned quite a few times in the last few years as a player you'd love Panthers to sign. Great goal scoring record. LoVecchio was released yesterday too. 59 goals in the past two seasons in Asia is an impressive return and his bio reads perfect for what we need: www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=17005Same team released Borer yesterday as well, would be a great addition to defence. Again his bio reads very well: www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=9419

AHL stats like that, neither particularly old, would mean they could be top earners in the DEL, Swiss or Finnish leagues. Possibly just too much for Panthers to be considered.

With reference to what I've seen some fans say on Twitter and Facebook, what's the big deal with Liam Stewart that makes people feel that we need him?!
Personally I think he's a decent grinder, not bad on the PK.. but that is all. For an import, he's vastly limited in his skill set. Players who have played the same roles as Stewart for us, the likes of Benedict and Brown in recent years.. both, some distance above the quality of Stewart. We all complained at the lack of firepower and playmaking ability in last seasons roster, yet Stewart's name continues to pop up on my timelines with people saying 'please sign him'.
If he was British, for sure, he'd be snapped up promptly but using one of the 14 import spots on him for a team like us, he is simply not good enough. He wasn't a standout playing for GB either, which reduces his value further.
He's a good guy, not just Sir Rod's son nor Rachel's son either. Great within the community and with fans but come on people.

Agreed Stewart would be a poor signing for an import. About on a par with Lacho,but at least Stewart worked hard ! You could see Panthers signing him though,especially this year.

On what basis/reasoning can you see Panthers signing Stewert especially this season?
Panthers have Farmer, Brown, Ollie and Lacho as very similar players and they've signed this young Russian as a 4th liner . So unless stewert is going as a top 6 forward he's getting nowhere near this team.
He 'll end up at one of the new teams or in Scotland

And because,based on the odd signings we've made so far this year,Neilson is struggling to recruit from the usual areas.....three from behind The Iron curtain and another Brampton boy so far. 🤔

Previous known history of injury one of them ?

Whats with this sudden Eastern bloc thing,Coreys never been a great fan of Eastern Europeans or beyond. And is David Ling the only contact we've got these days. Unless you'd be happy with a whole team of Ruskies and Lingers buddies ?

But the signings have been a bit bloody odd so far. It would be nice to see somebody with an obvious pedigree that is not a somewhat wait and see signing,a buddy of Linger or somebody else's mate !

He does have pretty awesome hair, which if we didn't have Lindhagen would be a good enough reason for me.

Don't joke your breath of that one. I don't see Panthers signing many with huge pedigrees this year

Black said he wanted this years team to be players who were on their way up, not on the way down ... By that logic you are not going to see many "wow" cv's.
