Wages must be ok in Del2 though. Lausitze, Corey's old team, coming off a pretty poor season and not exactly a major drawer, sign Peter Quenneville from Rapid City, coming off a 68pts in 68 games season According to player agencies in DEL2 imports should expect around 20k-40k USD a season. No reason why top end EIHL teams couldn’t easily offer that and more.

Or maybe he feels he can get in the DEL and sees DEL2 as the better platform to get there. At the end of the day we don’t the ins and outs about why he’s chosen where he has but there are just the usual suspects again who jump to the automatic assumption that it’s all Panthers fault. We should still remember that no matter how much money is offered GB is still a minor hockey backwater compared to Germany. I mean Mike Hammond who must be one of the most sought after players in this league has left for DEL3!

If I was Sam Herr I’d be in Germany too. Or more to the point,I wouldn’t be in the EIHL.

So you're saying that whilst Panthers should've made him "an offer he couldn't refuse", if you were him, you'd have said no anyway? And you criticise Panthers for apparently not doing so in the first place? Tough audience...

And you criticise Panthers for apparently not doing so in the first place? Tough audience... Just my opinion,nothing wrong with what I said. Panthers should have been doing everything they could to re sign Herr,they know how good he is,but it sounds like they didn’t even bother. Why would you not even bother making an offer to a player like him ? If I was Herr though I wouldn’t want to be in the EIHL,but if I was offered say £1000 a week more in the EIHL than in DEL2 then I might have a different view.

Well I’d have to agree, even after speaking to Sam and finding out his thoughts, you still make an offer you think he might not be able to refuse. If he then turns you down then fair enough, you move on. Doucet and Wallace will have to do their best to find somebody as good as Sam, hopefully we hear some good news.

It's another Jeff Brown situation for Panthers this imo. They would have liked him back & seemed to have had a word if there was any chance but the player wants to play in that part of the World at this time.
