In all seriousness, at this point, I’d take Schultz.
There’s no doubting that he’s a very talented player, but, the problem was his fitness. If he’s in good shape we could get him working with the Physio and S&C team and try and keep him as healthy as possible.
Beggars can’t be choosers and unfortunately the ship has sailed to sign an elite player who has no issues I’m afraid.

Would be a damning indictment on Neilson as a recruiter, so from that POV would at least be funny. A proven crock, who was called out by Neilson for being soft, and hasn't played so far this year.

Haha Schultz would be the perfect signing for Panthers to say.... Sorry fans but this is the best we could do,because weve scraped the barrel and just can’t attract anybody else to come and play for our fabulous club.
An obvious case of your reputation ain’t anywhere near what you think it is Panthers ! 😂

Looks like a potential Panthers signing. Has played with Ling, Gagnon and Billingsley in the past and already in Europe. Sounds a bit soft though.

Pither is the most likely signing due to the Brampton connection, he’s a centre though so he doesn’t fit does he? Saying that Neilson might decide to play him RW...

If Schultz is the signing then I'll be glad we've got a body in, but very disappointed we're having to drag player out of retirement because 'we can't find anyone else'. It'll also be the final straw for me in regards to changing from a slight Corey supporter to a 'yeah, gotta go'.
Pither looks like a decent player, but it's another case of bringing guys' friends in so he'll be comfortable from the offset and we need a guy who won't be comfortable and will do what they can to earn a spot above others.

If we sign Schultz after all this time we have been searching I'll be livid.
I wouldn't have said no to Schultz on a temporary contract in mid-late December whilst we look for better options out there but if he is the best we can find after 2 months of searching then that would say it all about our contacts and way we do business.
I'll reserve judgment until something is confirmed but whoever we sign now it's frankly too late.

its about a month now the odds are getting increasingly likely the club will just pocket the money saved on releasing shalla and not sign anyone...

I think Blacks train of thought, is that 11 other clubs in the league thinks Neilson is doing a good job, so therefore what’s the problem.

Because while Neilson is our coach Panthers are no bloody threat to them ! 🙄 What would be the Devils fans reaction if they endured what Panthers fans have this year ?

Has the club forgotten completely about this? No, but they hope the majority of supporters have. On several occasions recent press releases before games state Panthers will be at full strength. However, this means a full quantity (14) of imports will be iced, except only 13 can play, as 2 of them are goalies!!

Probably expect the majority of fans to realise they are full strength , once again treating like idiots !

We are NOT at full strength,we are playing an import short and have been for a month now. Totally unacceptable !

What is the issue with signing players this season? Why is so little available on the market? I have seen a few coaches saying the market is really dry and they are struggling to find players? I also think the deadline is at the end of the month? If so then time is running out fast!

I didn’t go tonight even though I have a season ticket. I’m done with them,unless I’ve got nothing better to do or there are big changes next season.

I think you’re missing the point. The question should be, do you think it’s acceptable to blow the league every season, usually with no challenge, then sign a couple of players to have a run at the Challenge Cup and Playoffs, thus papering over the ever widening cracks?
