Awesome signing right there ! He will be a nightmare for d men around the league especially if they are a bit sluggish ! He's a game changer The only question is where does he fit in ? 2nd line centre or alternating with Monshanksev? Or on the wing on the top line? top line RW I would say. When he was paired with Moran and Kolnik he was deadly and utilised his speed superbly, putting him with Phillips and a high calibre player like Kolnik would hopefully make a deadly first line.

Over the moon, Evan's, We should finally hear the Panthers Fans ROAR next season. I predicted this after he left us. just couldn't get a look in with the Icehogs I suppose. But He's coming home Simply epic news and he's a brit so another import slot available ^_^

Mosey isn't quite the type of player I was hoping for from one of our last three forwards considering I think we're very short of goals BUT his speed is going to once again be a huge asset and hopefully with his season in the AHL we'll see a great points return. Overall a great signing.
Surely he'll be first line RW?

Great signing. Welcome home Evan. 3 more left to sign. Hopefully Lindhagen plays as a forward which means 1 defender and 2 forwards to complete the roster. Starting to shape up very nicely.

Welcome back Evan great to have your energy and speed.
As far as anything but over the moon, Mosey originally was a cheap signing for the panthers who revelled in the EIHL to such an extent he earned himself a AHL callup and well done to him for that but lets not forget when he first came here the expectations of him were very low. This time he will be expected to earn his first line spot and personally I was hoping for a player who will score more goals. Im hoping he does exceptionally well and again thrives in England but time will tell imho...

Awesome news, you've got to think that we will certainly improve on Overtime amongst other things

A classic Panthers/GM signing. His speed is incredible and can change a game, but the first line, top quality, 30 goal scorer/top assists man we needed he is not. Would've been the perfect signing if we didn't already have Lindhagen but his signing doesn't change the fact we're yet again short of goals in the forwards (and short of toughness).
Fan's favourite becomes available, GM is not going to pass that up regardless of how it fits into the squad already signed though.
I've not seen him play since he's been in the AHL, but he didn't have the quality needed for a first liner (or second really) last time he was here. Hope he's improved.

The Lindhagen thing is the one that troubles me. Mosey is the better of the 2 but carrying them both (and Gagnon who can play forward) doesn't make sense. Resources of Lindhagen can be used much more effectively.... we got into the sticky issue of Brown & MacMillan being too similar last year. As for Mosey being a first line winger. He wasn't on his last season here but could have improved vastly. Not reliable enough to be expect on the 1st line.

I really do not want to be negative but Mosey is not the first line winger we needed unless of course he really has improved that much. He didn't get anywhere near a PPG in either of his two seasons with us.

I've not seen him play since he's been in the AHL, but he didn't have the quality needed for a first liner (or second really) last time he was here. Hope he's improved. By Classic I assume you mean Key? and made by Corey?. It's no secret he was wanted by all the big clubs for the upcoming season, we saw with GB how good he was. 8pts in the 5 games. Go back to the GB tournament the year before, he was good but not a massive difference maker, 1pt in 5 games. This time around, Mosey led GB, killed the opposition with his speed and improved skating and puck handling ability. He was a 4th line depth player in the AHL, played 41 and totalled 9pts, 15 PIMS and a +/- of -1. In his time with Indy, 9 games, 4pts. Both Rockford and Indy liked him for his speed and skating more than anything, but he's never really had a superb offensive side to him. Though that has improved a lot since being in the AHL, looked dangerous every time he went on the rush with GB. Mosey is quality, he'll fit very well on either the 1st or 2nd line. His overall game has improved vastly since he left us and he left us as a fan favourite on the back of a 41pt season. Having gotten quite a bit better, I can only see him improving on his previous time with us. I agree however, with the points about Lindhagen, his position on the roster is a bit unknown from where I stand. He's a bottom 4 D, and a bottom 6 Forward so I assume he'll just fit in somewhere and alternate.

He didn't get anywhere near a PPG in either of his two seasons with us. no he didn't have a record of a PPG but you have to remember he was used as a defender for large chunks of both seasons, in the second season especially, he could have achieved a much higher points total had he been played as a forward all season. Plus he was played on the first line in his second season, with Moran and Kolnik, where all three played well. Another point is that he was head and shoulders the best player for team GB recently, if he plays like he did during that tournament consistently he will be one of the best players in the league.

Personally I would like to see someone good on the puck and a Jeff Heerema type player with vision and good passing ability.

Wow! So now Corey can really go to town mixing lines and pairings mid game just as the chemistry builds!!
The team looks pretty good to me but the coaching will always be the old stale CN brand.

Not a second liner..... You do realise this is the eihl not the ahl. Most teams in this league he would be a first liner. He will be an asset to us and he has got even better than last time he was with us. He got 41 team points in 52 despite playing in defence for a good portion of the season. He is cover for the defense as well in case of injuries and is good on the power play. I cannot see why anyone is anything but bloody delighted at this! If this is a typical panthers signing role on the next typical signing!

I think Mosey is good enough to play top line. Put him next to Phillips who can pick a pass by all accounts and u'll mosey breaking down the wing alot all season.
At the end of the last time he was with us he was well above ppg in the last quater of the season when he finally got put on a settled line with Moran and Kolnik.
Our last top liner needs to be a real game changer. Fox type player who is just quality.

Some will never be happy. Mosey can change a game with his speed. He's a danger to any team in the league and will cause havoc for the slower less mobile D man. First liner I wouldn't have put him there but if we pull in a goal machine LW then I can see it working. He's the work horse who can cause a turn over, beat players to the puck deep in the zone. I can't see anything bad with this signing and I'm sure it'll show in the season

If this is a typical panthers signing role on the next typical signing! I agree, imagine the uproar, if he had signed for Cardiff or Belfast, the Panthers would have been vilified. If I remember rightly, at the end of his last season here, he seemed to be scoring a lot of points. Also his speed is a very important weapon to have especially with some of our opposition aging Defenders. And to continue with my earlier point, one of our major weaknesses last season was that we were awful in Overtime, with Mosey and the Russian player we signed, I can't imagine teams wanting to play 3V3 against us much, so may go for the win more in regulation, which in turn could help us counter attack them and get goals

Mosey brings a lot to the team and I'm definitely very happy to see him back but unless he's dramatically more productive than last time there's serious pressure on that last top liner to be a points monster. Of course I value my own armchair coach opinion very little so I'm probably completely wrong!
