Well Brett has signed for Dresden who sit sixth in the DEL2 with 16W and 15L and 38 points behind the league leaders. So not exactly strongly in a promotion fight right now. Listed as on a single year deal by Elite Prospects by they may not have the full details (they often don't)
Described by the team at being signed as 'security'. So we're losing our top scorer to a mid table team looking for a proven scorer for back up going into the stretch. Had 1A in his first game
Matthias Roos, Sports Director Dresdner Eislöwen: "The transfer window is coming to an end, which is why we decided to sign another import player as security. We already dealt with Brett Welychka last season when he was convincing in Slovakia. We're getting a fast centre-forward who also feels comfortable on the flank and can be used in both PP and PK situations."
I think Pacha might be surprised as to which team he's gone too? But also good on Pacha that he managed to get him in the first place if Dresden had interest in him last year as well
Brett on the move: "I'm looking forward to Germany, to Dresden, the Eislöwen. When the offer came, I didn't have to think long. Of course I asked around a bit and only heard good things about the city and the club. The Eislöwen are an ambitious team and I was very well received. I'm looking forward to my first game for the Eislöwen."
Good luck Brett, but I personally thought he'd be going to a top 2/3 team but if he is on a multi year deal can still understand the move, gutting though it is

So basically it sounds like they weren’t being straight again, the whole leaving story was a complete load of cobblers and he couldn’t wait to get out of Nottingham. Can’t really blame him !

Playoff champion so technically he's joining a team still in with a shot, but not a strong shot (I'd say not better than ours was with him). DEL promotion also requires promoted teams to have at least a 4500 capacity. Dresden's is under but not by much so they'd probably allow them provided they also have the sufficient capital. A substantial deposit must be paid by DEL2 champions to the DEL as a surety before they join, so teams don't fold as a result of promotion disrupting the league

Glad to see you don't immediately jump to 2+2=Panthers are liars and evil again Iggy Even *if* Pacha knew specifically which team then they were still being truthful. Yes Dresden are still in Playoff contention and, therefore, in with a chance of promotion, albeit slim. If Pacha didn't know specifically then he might be a bit disappointed it's a mid-table team with a similar record to ours but if Brett was being offered a 1+1 deal it's still perfectly understandable. He'd have the rest of the season to impress and try and trigger the +1 clause. When Tessier jumped ship mid-season nobody thought he was doing a runner. Yes we had a better team that year but losing him almost certainly killed off our playoff hopes no? Talented players move on to better opportunities all the time, it doesn't mean they're running from a rotten situation. Especially when the other players seem happy- not about results but about the organisation

Especially when the other players seem happy- not about results but about the organisation I don’t blame Welychka,if I’d have been him I’d have jumped this sinking ship months ago. But as for anybody thinking Pacha and Panthers not knowing which team he was going to well that’s just daft. Have else would they know who hadn’t paid them some nice compo ? And a quick glance at the DEL2 stats shows that the talk about DEL1 next year wasn’t being very realistic. And Panthers wonder why some fans are very cynical about them with some of the stuff they would have fans believe. I’ve seen and been told by people involved with things that have happened plenty of times and then I’ve read the official club story that’s get released about it and believe me there is so much BS put out like you wouldn’t believe.
