The last time we were in the CHL we signed some extra players to try help cope ( Nathan Robinson for one), do I assume by the we only have 1 signing left, we are not bothering this time and will just put the stain on the normal squad?

We won't be no, needless additional cost if we went down that route again. Disrupts the main roster too.

Nope, I believe that NB said at the Q&A that all players signed would be for the whole season and that they would be here by August the 7th.

Would be nice if we signed a spare import D & F though.

And they made little difference to the outcome. You'd need to have a separate roster to compete effectively, not just 5 guys.
We couldn't afford that for a whole season.

The additional players was something that was potentially a good idea - getting better players on short term deals, hoping they may want to stay on or perform well to get a better club.
As it turned out we bought in players with terrible attitudes (Cohen, Robinson & Lee being complete jokes). So no surprises NB stated that won't happen again!

Robinson was a right waste of space. He had one decent game against Hamburg to no doubt try and showcase for a DEL job. Lee never played a single game. Podlesak went home. And Cohen was remarkably average with a bad attitude. # what a complete farce

Mark Lee was a good player, just got crippled by an injury. Done pretty well since leaving us.

Yup I'm glad they haven't gone down this road, usually Panthers don't learn by their mistakes

I think it was a case of awaiting diagnosis for a fair while as it ruled him out till very late in the season. Definitely Panthers responsible for him staying for so long, probably contracted so it included medical care.

No. CN was asked this question at Clarke & Co camp Q&A session and he emphatically said "No, we're not doing that"

Pretty sure I remember the CHL saying teams were only allowed to use players that were going to be with the team for a full season and not just temporarily for CHL games.

Thats virtually impossible to enforce though, in effect you wouldn't be allowed to cut any-one mid season, whereas other teams in your league NOT playing in the CHL don't have the same restriction. Also, many teams bulk up their side for the playoffs, for example in Switzerland teams seeking to win the NLB playoffs often sign players not involved in the NLA playoffs.
