It’s good that we’re making a move but, I don’t want to be negative, isn’t it a little bit late?
Anyway, surely we’re bringing in a forward?

We now know we are signing somebody so why wait until now. Unless Deutsch is gone for the season and only just been decided. Regardless, we needed a body a few weeks ago at least. Im reading to mich into it I think but is it strange the empty stall is between 2 full ones. Does that mean it has been cleared out? If Deutsch is staying I would certainly hope its a forward. Tbh Id sign a forward anyway personally.

Tbh Id sign a forward anyway personally. I don't think one will have been cleared out. Probably just done it for the teaser photo. I may be playing devils advocate but maybe we have been looking at getting someone in earlier but either couldn't find the right guy or targets have decided to go elsewhere. If someone good is on the market i would imagine there would be competition for signatures. It may be a little too late now but this guy comes in and has an impact like Pither did a couple of years it could also add more of a foundation for next years team if we're hoping to build a core of players so its never too late

Tbh Id sign a forward anyway personally. This is just word of mouth from the Facebook group but somebody said they’d spoke to Adam this week and he was hoping to be back in the lineup this week, but there could have been a turn of events. Like you I’d also like to see us bring in a forward, no matter what the situation is. Tetlow has done a job whilst he’s been given more ice time, Tim can trust him as the 6th dman. As we all know our problems are our lack of scoring.

Anyway, surely we’re bringing in a forward? if you are referring to my post and the elite prospects link, he is a forward. I'd agree though, we DO need a forward but not another (and in all respect to their form since they've arrived as they've both done well) Talbot/Horvat type. either a playmaker or a goalscorer, or both in one. or both !

Adds some secondary scoring and can handle himself. Quite happy with that if utilised correctly. Over a PPG in DEL2 with AHL experience.

I would 100% look to play 5 import D and Tetlow 6 now. I would like to see us put a bigger, harder hitting line together and stack the top 6. Leaves a bit of a problem with Ollie but could shuffle it.
Herr Talbot Hansen Bulmer Tousignant Horvat Malmquist Perlini Golovkos Ollie Lacho Kelsall
Maybe swap Ollie and Golovkos.

On the face of it a decent player. I’ll start with the concern and that is this season in Hungary, not very impressive.
However, looking back at previous seasons he looks to have a been a real threat. Over a point per game throughout his time in DEL2, top scorer for his Allsvenskan team in 17/18, top scorer for his DEL2 team in 16/17. A lot of AHL experience where he picked up quite a few PIMs.
He looks to be a great mid season pickup. If he plays centre and can improve us in the circle as well then even better. Overall I’m pleased, hopefully he plays on Saturday!

Before this season I’d have said great signing. But having spinal surgery in October and coming back to register 1 point in 15 games leads me to think he might not be the player he was. Hope I’m wrong

Hope I’m wrong I hope you are as well, it could be that he didn’t settle after returning. We’ll have to wait and see.

Hope I’m wrong Indeed. A PPG in the DEL2 is a good sign. A forward who hasn't scored a goal, and only one point, in 15 games, Panthers don't need at all.

He's going to love our bang and crash league then, its going to do wonders for his back. Hopefully Gui has taken all this into consideration and its not just a panic signing. Unfortunately it feels a little too late. Lets see what he's like at the weekend before we write him off.

So Doucet says money was available for a while but they wanted to wait for the right guy ? Blimey the market must have been very dry the last month if a guy coming off back surgery and on a 1 point season is the best they could do ! 🙄🙄

Blimey the market must have been very dry the last month if a guy coming off back surgery and on a 1 point season is the best they could do ! 🙄🙄 The market is always dry mid season.. theres a reason why players move around then .... you have to be extremely lucky to fall onto a quality player.. don't count october time as teams are still trimming their rosters

We have to trust Doucet’s judgement.

Just listened to the interview with Doucet who says he is leaving a difficult situation in Hungary regarding ice time so that may go someway to explaining the lack of points
