Strange that there has been no mention of Whistle moving to Belfast on here. He was the better of the two NMs in the elite series and has a different approach to Bowns. Whistle seemed to be better when thrown into a game, whereas Bowns who plays a lot of games and minutes and can sustain that but in the beginning of the series was poor until he developed his match sharpness.
Can understand him leaving, he wants a regular starting spot and he didnt get that with Carr being the no.1 NM, hopefully he will get that in Belfast or at least plenty icetime than he did here during the cut short season.

It got a mention in the signings thread.
Beskowhatnot will be definite number one over there, you would imagine?
It'll be interesting to see how they use Jackson, I wouldn't be too surprised if he gets the same role as he got here though.

You would think he’d get less ice time behind Beskorowany than he would behind Carr. Strange move by Whistle I’d say.

Did i read once upon a time that Jackson doesn't see himself as a two nights per weekend starter, but more a joint starter and maybe coming in as relief if things go wrong. He can do that job anywhere in the UK with his passport, but he won't improve as a goalie only playing once per week.

I think everything’s fallen into place for Whistle to go back to Belfast. Murphy’s retired and his family is based there. As has been said though, he’s not going to be starting ahead of Beskorowany, so if he wanted to push himself why not take a starting role somewhere?

From what I heard prior to the announcement Whistle wanted to be back in Belfast. Perhaps similar to Myers and Cardiff. His wife/girlfriend/family are or want to be based in Belfast.
Id imagine Panthers plan would've been Carr, Whistle and Kerlin.

Beskowarny I believe has had some injury problems since leaving Belfast so having Whistle who can easily start 30% of games (like a real number 2 goalie) makes sense, both in reducing workload to protect from injury, but also as cover should they be down a goalie for a significant spell.
