Coming from an EIHL rumour account on Twitter, Perlini has been linked with a move to Guildford. If this does turn out to be true then it would be disappointing but not a major loss as long as we can sign another quality GB player. I can see us picking up O’Connor.

Seems entirely plausible, Perlini not returning to the Panthers does seem to be a fairly frequent muttering.

It would be aweful for Perlini to be anywhere in the EIHL but here. We are severely lacking in quality Brit forwards. Whilst I dont mind us signing Ben O'connor(which I believe will happen) that gives us 3 Brit Dmen. I'm not too keen on O'Connor, Lee and Tetlow with only 3 imports. Plenty of rumours he was going abroad, which would be fair enough. Can't blame anyone for wanting to go see the world. For him to go to Guilford says it's largely about the money. Rumour has it that the O'Connor deal was done some time ago. That would make this basically a trade of Perlini for Lee, with us getting the rough end of that deal.

Forgetting where they play for a moment, swapping Perlini for O'Connor is almost a like-for-like when it comes to point production.
Amusingly they are both dual British/Canadian passport holders of pretty much the same age, height, weight and with left handed shots. Could you even tell the difference?

Rumour has it that the O'Connor deal was done some time ago. That would make this basically a trade of Perlini for Lee, with us getting the rough end of that deal. At the minute I’d have to agree that the deal with Lee does seem a bit poor for us. However, there’s a lot still to be revealed in the coming weeks across the league. There have been rumours that Lacho is moving on and the fact he’s still not signed for us suggests to me that he’s going elsewhere. Also, I believe Whistle will move to Belfast, the one big disadvantage with this is that we’ll be unable to start games with a Brit goalie tandem and 13 import out skaters if we signed a spare one, however we don’t need to replace him with another Brit. This season we need 7 brits in total, with a maximum of 4 over 25’s. Right now we have 1 O25 (Lee) and 4 U25’s (Betteridge, Tetlow, Kelsall, Kerlin), with the roster changes this year every team has had to gain an additional Brit, so we’ve got two Brit signings left. Looking at potential incomings and outgoings, for me, losing Perlini and gaining O’Connor is an equal trade, they play in different positions but they are top level Brits. If we lose Lacho and we could pickup Lewis Hook or even Scott Conway then I think that is a big improvement for us. Then Lee is effectively the additional Brit that we’ve been required to sign for this season, looking at his signing in this way it seems a lot better. I know it’s a hypothetical situation but overall I’d be pleased with our Brit group. Lineup wise: Import1 Import2 Import3 Boivin Welsh Domingue Hook Tousignant Betteridge Import8 Import9 Kelsall O’Connor Import10 Matheson Lee Tetlow Doherty Carr Kerlin

I don’t rate O’Connor at all. Don’t like the way he plays in his own end. Personally would never swap perlini for him.

Y’all know the guy on EIHL rumours just guesses right?! No evidence to any of his tweets. He’s got a couple right but nothing concrete. Problem with social media is you get one right and bam, people think you’re ITK. Don’t believe all the hype. Perlini would be daft to leave Panthers for Guildford. The reason Lee left is his partner was based in London…much like why Myers went back to Cardiff. Perlini may have been born in Guildford but outside of that, has no connections to the town as he moved away so young.
And people who don’t rate O’Connor…guys played in higher standard leagues than ours - outside of Kirk, who hasn’t played enough, he’s one of the very few British trained players who’s played in high quality leagues for a sustained period. Put him with the right D partner, he’ll be highly effective. With Brits, you get limitations so you then need to get imports who can complement those shortcomings. Because unless we go full import teams, you only have a limited pool you can call on. So you have to have a group of imports who cover those. O’Connor is dynamic going forward and solid in his own end. Make his d partner a big stay at home, let him do his thing and you’ll have a really good d partnership.

With Lewis Hook signing back in Belfast it's even more important to hold on to Perlini for next season if we can. Feels like there aren't too many top six British forwards around. Would be great to have the Boivin-Perlini-Domingue line back together.

Perlini is out of contract. His deal only ran until the end of the 2020/21 season. He is free to talk to who he likes, including EIHL teams, however IF he is staying on these shores it would take a significant offer for it to not be with the Panthers.

They just spread rumours that they are DM'd, they aren't claiming the cringe-worthy status of ITK.
If I was a savvy GM, it might even be in my interest to see a page like this suceed and gain a large following, it could theoretically provide a means to test a fanbase's reception to potential signings...

So I follow the account in question and they have had a fairly good track record thus far. They put out Johno May and Austin Cangelosi 1-3 days before Panthers announced it and actually got blocked on Twitter by the Panthers around then!
One question mark for me is that none of their rumours relating to current Panthers for the upcoming campaign have yet come true. Namely:
Whistle to Giants Perlini to Guildford Lacho to Telford
Could be that they are true but not yet confirmed or it could be completely wrong. Like I say though, he has a decent track record with some very specific names at times (some "rumours" felt so predictable I'm less inclined to credit them).
Ps. Not counting the drafted players from the Elite Series like Bowns.

There are rumours that this years max EIHLroster size is to be 19. The split being 14 imports & 5 brits. If that turns out to be true ir rules out a return to Panthers for Perlini, Lacho, Hazeldine & Whistle or the rumoured signing of O'connor happening (unless spare brits are allowed) IF that turns out to be true it will leave our Brit pack so very very weakened... Time will tell if any or all of the rumours in question have validity or not...

Guildford have lost Lee and Davies recently so they would have Brit money to throw at Perlini ?

Lacho is off to Guildford after having the majority of clubs excluding Panthers enquire about his availability. Perlini is not returning (at the moment). Could possibly go back to the club he spent lock down with. Let’s see because hes done this before & ended up back here when he couldn’t get a club. We look very light if we lose both of these guys.

If this is true then we’re in a sticky situation. If the roster rules are as we all assume, 13 imports, 7 brits (max 4 O25 Brits, min 3 U25 Brits) then we need two more out-skating brits. O’Connor is one that we’re hoping for, if we can’t convince Perlini then realistically who else is there? Conway, Myers, Peacock? Someone from the NIHL? We’re not the only team in this situation though.

Same rumour account now has Perlini to Belfast Hedging his bets now. Plus he got Lacho wrong. He seemed to call several of the Cardiff signings though, so maybe it's that Panthers are a but of a tighter ship.

Info is very sparse. Gone are the halcyonic Corey/Chernomaz ITK days. That said this incoming player I alluded to over two weeks ago now is all signed up. I can only assume the two d men announced before were signed up beforehand.

I've heard the rumour again this weekend that Perlini will be leaving for a different league on the continent. It's basically the same rumour I heard before the 19/20 season was cut short from an entirely different person.

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago he could be going back abroad, he’s mentioned it to the golfing crew that he wasn’t coming back. Let’s say he and a couple of others have not been treated well by ‘the office’ and he’s had enough. Will have to see what happens if he can’t find a club.
