Let's hope he's gone a bit crap in his time away from the league.

Let's hope he's gone a bit crap in his time away from the league. His stats this year have taken somewhat of a dive. Bet he’s still handy though.

If his stats have taken a dive he clearly isn't as handy as he used to be. And didn't he get released because of injury?

I know there’s a lot of hate for them, which I get. But my word they do everything they possibly can to win don’t they. Whereas we’re still playing one of our only check throwing, forechecking forward on defence. I might be being slightly simple with this viewpoint, but feel this is an excellent pick up.

I wouldn't be surprised if Panthers had looked at him, it will probably be the wages that determined that signing, no way would NB pay over the odds for a player, Evan Mosey played Cardiff off against Panthers with wages and at the last minute Sheffield came in with more money so that's where he went.

More discussion about Sheffield’s signing than our own this week Probably because there isn't much to say about him. Nowadays a typical Panthers signing.

I can guarantee if Panthers signed Ackerad it would be classed as a Lazy signing .. By whom? I wouldn't say so. Known quantities have a value at this stage of the season. See also Vallerand. Let's not forget, both players we're discussing here are on the rebound from injury, so neither is a "premium" signing, IMHO. Lahtinen wants a chance to prove himself in a better league than the AlpsHL. Good lad, bring it on. Let' see what you got. Ackered could be a masterstroke, I think, but is coming off a relatively poor season so far. He's only played an average of around 10 minutes per game (232 mins in 21 games) so far?

Lahtinen is a (relatively) unknown quantity, of course I'm hopeful he could have a positive impact on the rest of the season. But then again he could be another Hedberg.

Steelers have signed 20 non-UK players this season now. 17 skaters, 3 netminders. 2 have left (Ostlund and Raska) so they have 18 "imports" signed currently, including Ackered. I believe at least 2 are currently injured. That is the limit, I think, unless they get some "loan players" in.

Fantastic signed by Sheffield. Panthers simply have no idea or ambition. We go for the "easy/cheap option" far too often. I hate the Steelers but have to respect their ( and Belfast and Cardiff ) pursuit of assembling a winning side. We must change our approach if we are ever to compete.

You're wasting your time while ever NB is there .
