Good. That one was a must.
Multi year deal too, for what that's worth (or whatever that actually means).

Was not expecting this.
We keep Perlini, yet Sheffield lose O'Connor, excellent result all round.
Just need Bowns to leave Cardiff now

And he was already coming back!!! Thanks for keeping everyone in the dark over that one Panthers. Who else knew he was on a multi year deal? This lack of transparency is what irritates me about Panthers sometimes.
Great news though. The most important piece of business we could make this summer

If what Jord v4 was saying is true about most of the team we’re on optional 2yr deals. I’d expect a few more of last years team to be back aswell. I still think we’ll possibly see. Pither, Gagnon, Bussieres & Brown. (Brown after the honeymoon tho’ mid Aug).

Phew! It'll be hard for any player to be as important as this signing. Perlini is truly irreplacable.

Excellent news.
Firstly because he's an exceptional player in of himself who will directly make a massive contribution to the team.
Secondly because it shows that not only can the Panthers attract good players like him, they can also retain such (I was half convinced he was going to go back to North America).
Thirdly because it helps to build trust in the new coach. We hardly know anything about the man... I wouldn't mind betting that Perlini knows or has heard more.
This will hopefully strengthen the roster not only directly by his signing, but also by encouraging other good players to look at the club more favourably. There truly is no down-side here...

Being as Callum has randomly mentioned 91, 81 , 75 days to go then I'd expect pither, Gagz and bus to be announced over the summer.
This signing will be hard to beat all summer. Huge signing. Well done Cherno!
Welcome home Brett

Cracking signing that one.
Panthers using the spending power for once is very good to see.
Well done Rich 👍

Well done Cherno! Welcome on Brett Kind of hope you're wrong. Really don't want to see Bussieres back. Up there with there with one the worst season long imports we've had since i've been watching. |

Right... we've got one Perlini. Now how do we go about getting Brendan?  (Yes, of course I'm joking...  ) |

This forum and social media will go into meltdown if Brussiers is back... surely our coach wouldn’t be so stupid to sign him... I’d be really happy if only Mosey and Pither we’re back and the rest sailed into the sunset... new broom and all that... |

No need to attack the poster. Criticism for criticism’s sake was it you said ! |

Every player in their first year last year who signed from the start of the season was on second year optional. Optional means if first Panthers & the player is happy then they return. Reading between the lines all that has happened with Perlini is a two year deal where we are clearly paying him more than last season. |

Pither, Gagnon, Bussieres & Brown. (Brown after the honeymoon tho’ mid Aug). It's true, I'm fed up repeating it to be honest. Gagnon & Bruss will be on that deal, as is Garnett. Brown is/was on 2nd year already but he potentially signed a multi yr deal last season, another 'if happy' scenario imo. Pither was a temp contract, he will be a tough one unless we wants to stay then I can't see it being an issue. |

I dont quite get this Optional business.
Surely, whether any player is on a 2nd year "optional" contract or not, if both the club want him back, and the player wants to return, then it'll happen anyway?

The thing is though Jord,a “two year optional deal” is of absolutely no use whatsoever to player or team. Because if Panthers didn’t want a player back or the player didn’t want to come back,then neither side can make it happen. So they may just as well be on one year contracts ! 🤔🙄 |

Surely, whether any player is on a 2nd year "optional" contract or not, if both the club want him back, and the player wants to return, then it'll happen anyway? It's a way of protecting a highly performing player from going to another EIHL team without Panthers consent. So for example, Perlini couldn't have signed for another EIHL team but could have gone anywhere else outside of EIHL, like Sauve & Phillips have. In theory Caesar you are correct though, yes. Second yr optional is a 'if everyone is happy with the previous arrangements then we carry on for yr two'. Perlini's, is different though. He has a significant pay rise imo, on a new two yr deal. These contracts were Corey's brainchild, Rich may do things differently.... It's a new one for Panthers to announce a multi yr deal imo, tells me Rich is handing out longer contracts. |

It's a protection contract for the club. I'm led to believe Nielson was the driver for it. A player definitely can't go to another EIHL team if the Panthers want to keep him, that's the protection. |
