If a new guy is coming in (alongside Jones) then it could be this Guy. Leeds snnounced just under two weeks ago that he would be leaving them later in the month for a quote 'Opportunity in the Elite league' but he is not officially signed anywhere yet www.eliteprospects.com/player/207344/grant-cooperBelfast has always been rumoured for this chap? You watch, he'll be playing this weekend against them...

I think it would be strange if he came to us, never mind Belfast at this moment in time.

It would be very strange. He's got Scotland written all over him tbh.
Then again it's very strange it's been weeks since he left Leeds for this EIHL opportunity which hasn't materialised yet.

The same week that Panthers are allegedly to release a few players & also the very same week Panthers are to sign Peyton Jones and perhaps A.n.other. The timing certainly fits with 2 week notice periods.
Whether he is the player or not (if another is to be signed/is signed) its likely we will find out soon.

Rumour was just before Corey came back that Hammond had had an offer from the DEL not sure whether Corey changed his mind or it didn't materialise. I thought that offer was from DEL2 (the 2nd tier in Germany)? He's definitely nowhere good enough for the DEL. It didn't help that him and the then coach didn't get on. It was Del2, yes. Which is his level, never DEL.

Remarkably Cooper signs in Belfast. Why is it remarkable? Firstly most considered him more a Scotish team type signing. Secondly it's yet another signing for Belfast.

Jones is already in Nottingham. Expect announcements on players leaving in the next few days with another potential arrival Any idea on if/ when further announcements will be made?

Unfortunately, no. My source either didn't know or didn't want to tell me more details than to expect another signing. He did hint at it being another Dman.

Must say his resume looks to be really strong for our league, years in the AHL as a solid D man; big body too. The worry is his lack of games in the last few years, does he want to be here would be the question I’d ask.

Appears he took some time out of the game to try his hand as a professional boxer. boxing-social.com/features/hunter-warner-from-the-rink-to-the-ring/Sign him up!

This is in their press release confirming his departure “The club have not heard from Hunter Warner since 18/12/22 and have terminated their contract today. He will no longer play for the Bordeaux Boxers”

Sounds like one to avoid then.

Probably more to it than that... Don't just presume he's gone full ' PVH '

Would have been a good signing taking into account his experience, but it doesn’t seem like his focus is on hockey anymore

Surely we will hear soon? 1st part of it released today. He's gone very quiet re: players coming in. Not sure if we'll see anyone now but never say never

That's worrying. Cant think of another reason an EIHL player would trend so highly other than a team somewhere expecting his signature and fans checking him out.

View AttachmentThat's worrying. Cant think of another reason an EIHL player would trend so highly other than a team somewhere expecting his signature and fans checking him out. Wow didn't realise he'd be more sought after than any player from Belfast, Cardiff Sheffield or Guildford.. must be better than I thought lol
