The decision to adequately replace Bulmer is the biggest decision or non-decision for panthers in recent years. Need to get this right and soon.

It's quite possible there could be a agreement/signed contract today but the announcement could be tomorrow or Wednesday

But still got Rheault waiting in the wings if he’s finished his homework ! 🙈

The problem is that if we have managed to sign a player before the deadline then it needs to be the right fit. The team really seemed to click on Sunday and that’s not happened often this season and I wouldn’t want to break up lines just to fit in a new player as that could have a negative impact on the team at this crucial time of year but on the other hand we do need to bring someone in because Rheault is not good enough quality to slot seamlessly into the lineup and contribute equally to that of his teammates.

IF we do sign some-one, I agree that it won't be a big impact top-liner, instead some-one who could fit in to the existing lines but doesn't mind sitting out if every-one is fit. But hopefully some-one who has more of an impact than Vaskivuo or Sarkanis.

It’s a yardstick which measures our ambitious for me. The team has done better than expected ;Black should back the coach and you never know. It’s not like he’s emptied the tanks in previous seasons. Next move after that is to re-sign Herr and move Rheault on..._

Next move after that is to re-sign Herr and move Rheault on..._ Doucet’s got the money, he’s already admitted that he was going to try and bring a player in when he was interviewed by Chris Ellis, so we know Black is backing the team. Doucet has admitted previously that he’s not rushed into signing just any player, which has seen us pick up Hansen, Talbot, Horvat, Tousignant and Binkley, who have all been great pickups. However, he obviously hasn’t had the time to wait for the ‘right’ player in this situation. I imagine there aren’t a lot of players on the move at this point so the dilemma for Doucet will have been does he sign any available forward, who will probably be spare, or does he stick with what we’ve got? I’d hope he’d sign whoever is available, as the situation with injuries can quickly change. The deadline was reportedly last night, so if we don’t hear anything today then I think we have our answer.

Steelers fans believe they have signed Jeremy Brodeur, from HK Budapest and it won't be announced until later in the week.
That's just a rumour though, but I suppose we could be in a similar position. Hopefully anyway.

The signing showed on elite prospects then got removed .. doesn't look anything special.. yet having a rather good father and if he even wears 30 that should shift some merchandise though 😉 ...

As fun as it is to speculate new deadline signings, we still have the same reactive management in place rather than pro active. The odds of replacing at deadline a lost player when the team are clearly "good enough" without spending what i am sure is seen as unnecessary funds is about as likely as selling snow to eskimos... Whether panthers win or lose i am pretty sure they will see this as a successful season as they are still getting bums on seats without the usual fan backlash in jan/feb and urgent need to bring in a ringer to appease said fans.... job done...

We only had about 5 minutes to react, we've got 15 imports in, and there's not a million miles to go in the season. It's not that bad.
Normally on holiday by now.

The organisation just doesn’t want to win enough I agree to an extent about the management with regards predictable but GD did say he would look and with such a short time frame I didn’t expect a signing as I’d understand him struggling. However, if we’d just signed any old random forward you’d moan about how awful they are and how it’d be such a ‘panic’ signing so either way you’d still say they don’t want to win enough so save the bashing for another topic worth bashing them for.

Spot on. Doucet doesn't seem the sort who will just bring in any forward for the sake of it even if their skill set is crap.. he wont bring in anyone unless they are better than what we have . Let's be honest the mid season replacements have all been upgrades.

We've replaced 5 players this season and so far i think GD/TW are doing a good job. Very little time to replace Bulmer so i think its a bit harsh to judge them
