Wow!!!
We will officially have the best netminder in the league.
What a statement of intentions there!

Had to be something to improve on Wiikman and I think we've pulled it off.
Was 'GK of the week' in the KHL in January!

All credit to the Panthers on this one - bringing a guy to the EIHL who was a KHL starter last year and has been for the previous nine years is seriously good work!

Very Impressed....but !
How is he going to play 80 games when that's how many he's played total in the last THREE SEASONS.
We better hope Zakharchenko is good !

Sounds likely to be for two years too with the Uni involvement! Fantastic pick up and should be the best netminder in the league!
Feel like we are going to see a lot more in the way of rotation of netminders this year. Ed looks a big improvement on Pacl and Garnett on Wiikman and Gospel on Green so hopefully this is something that can be done with confidence. Garnett's age and recent starts doesn't suggest he is here to start 56 regular season games in 7 months?

Very impressive pedigree but seems bizarre to sign someone who will turn 35 a couple of months into the season and doesn't look to have played a full season in years. Particularly after what Black, Corey etc said - and when they ditched Wiikman despite Corey calling him the best in the league.

The kind of signing that sends an absolute statement to the rest of the league, I really hope Garnett & EZ get the defence they deserve so they can dominate.
Not sure what 'aiming to study at Loughborough University' means but hopefully he does and he's here for the 2 years.

I'd give the challenge cup games and lesser games to goalie 2 and 3. Can see Garnett playing around 40-50 games
Awesome signing very impressed

Very Impressed....but ! How is he going to play 80 games when that's how many he's played total in the last THREE SEASONS. We better hope Zakharchenko is good ! In the KHL, both goalies are good enough to play starter. So he has played roughly half the games (around a 50-60 games season in the KHL) I don't think his stats for Bern have been added. This is literally as good a goalie as you can get and you still have to criticise. Try and enjoy it because I'm certain you will be the only one who can pick a fault with this. |

Also nowhere has anyone from he club said the starting goalie will play 80 games - this is the reason we signed EZ. |

Looks good. I'll wait and see if he's the best in the league before hanging that one on him  Do Loughborough have to accept the guys we want to send to them? |

On the story when he signed for Bern it says as backup for the playoffs, so maybe he didn't appear. |

I'm not picking fault with it Pies,I've said I'm impressed and his stats are excellent.
It just seems odd that after saying we're signing a younger team,we go and get a 34 year old goalie.
Then we're asking him to play a ton more games AND study at Uni too.....Big ask !

And that's why I said Eduard better be good,cos he's going to be playing 30 plus games ! |

Everyone was complaining Gospel won't get ice time, he hasn't signed just to keep faceoff stats on the bench! |
