As title says. Been a huge disappointment given both his CV and CHL form.

I hope they have someone lined up or they are just going to keep cutting the wage bill as they think the season is done. I’m not convinced it’s a done season as yet. I just think the league is a lot tighter and some new blood could save it. Teams are going to beat each other . Need someone with a point to prove from a team at a higher lever, not someone who sees coming to us as a punishment. But someone who wants to prove he’s been wrongly left off the ice?
Any names out there?

I don’t think anyone can be surprised and he won’t be missed. He quite obviously came for the CHL campaign alone and I wouldn’t be surprised if he thought he’d get snapped up by a bigger European side.
From top 10 ECHL goalscorer to 3 in 26 EIHL games is atrocious.
Odds on another EIHL side taking him on and he sparkles for them...?

Any names out there? Says on the press release that they have advanced negotiations with recruits. Regarding Shalla, such a shame, with his resume he should have torn our league to shreds.

The Panthers website article states that talks with a new player are at an 'advanced stage'

Good riddance. Little effort and a couldn’t care less attitude since the CHL. shouldn’t be the last.

Fans ask for changes, changes are being made and it’s still not good enough haha! If they were stripping the wage bill down like you say they would be gassing players and playing the younger Brits in their stead. As a sideline they also wouldn’t be employing two costly import netminders.

I wasn’t being negative, just posing a question at a difficult point, not making a statement. I was actually saying I hope they get someone in who is hungry to prove a point instead of someone who feels they are on the way down.

Can understand this move, but not until we have a replacement in. We are going to play short again.
Will probably rip the league up at a different elite league club. Hope we are going to spend the saved months wages on a top sniper and centre. Not sure where we will find them

it wouldnt be the first time the club have cut the wage bill under the guise of making changing and bringing in what would look like cheaper players given their pasts so its no surprise they are being called out for what "may" happen. Also, it wouldnt be a big surprise in Nottingham to save money for a few weeks off the wage bill till replacements come in.
Heres hoping that we can take them at face value, they cut the deadwood (obviously not including the coach in this) and bring in players who can see us through to an actual league challenge till the end of the season...... then again i stopped believing in santa several decades ago too...

They were happy to pay Mcgrattan £2000 a week to loaf around for a season.....Just think what sort of sniper you could get for that.
Does a top sniper put bums on seats though ? Of course he does,because the team probably wins.
I've never understood Panthers logic when it comes to spending player wages money !

Like has been said he should have ripped the league up so who's fault is This? The coach, the players he's playing with or just letting himself down?
Watching him play id say a mix of himself and Corey. He's shown when he can be bothered he's Good, CHL for example. But I think Corey style of play doesn't suite most players and he's one of them. Think he will turn back up somewhere else in the league.
Let's hope his replacement can play and knows where the net is.

No suprise. To put in perspective how bad his form was it would take him 110 league games to score the same number of goals matt carter did in 49...

This will improve nothing! One player hasn't been the cause of this run.. tbh not a player at all you could change 10 imports and things may not improve!
I'm doubtful you ll find a decent import now anyway. If one becomes available it's probably be down to him being a cancer in the dressing room!

Shame it didn't work out for him, never appeared to be lazy so not sure why he couldn't replicate the Champions League form domestically. Probably doesn't like dump and chase.
Least Mosey and Pat are back with us for the Coventry game, so shouldn't be any worse off numbers wise (given Gagnon is suspended too).
