Miles Gendron is a faint rumour on X. Apparently we tried to sign him last year. Interesting. Doesn't look like he's ever really played a large number of games in a season so I wonder if he's a bit injury prone. But Keefe must have seen something in him.

Ok then what was the appeal of that particular post to be? 19 seconds of random clips to some dance music. Do views really mean much? I viewed it because I follow panthers on X so it just appeared on my feed. And when it’s off season people will naturally look for a clue towards potential signings as earlier posts have shown As I said before and what is quoted above "Not everyone is the same. What will appeal to some won't necessarily appeal to others."However, it must have engaged you in some way as here you are on The Cage talking about it. It clearly hit a cord with some people due to views, likes, replies etc. That's all engagement and not bad for a 19 second video that puts Panthers at the forefront of people minds for the time that they see it and may trigger something else. That's the beauty of social media. Not the question I asked. Also, I hope you are being paid for this particular bit of Panthers PR.

It's 2024 , are we seriously trying to say having a social media presence is a bad thing ? Seriously? You know if they posted nothing the same people would take a dig that they hadn't posted enough and were outdated and stuck in the past .

You asked about the appeal when you’ve already said that it didn’t appeal to you. (Which is fine BTW) I explained that the appeal was there due to the engagement received and the views on the post. I get it’s not for you, but it will appeal to others. We are all different and engage in different ways, but it’s clear that most people prefer to engage via social media and why it has grown massively. It’s also why we (along with virtually every other sports club, company, public entity etc.) use it so heavily. Not getting paid. It’s just a subject I know a bit about and just hoping to give readers my perspective.

Does Iggy expect to hear nothing apart from signings over the summer?
Would probably the generate a complaint that the owners are on hot beaches with all these millions that the club generates. Can’t win.

I don't "do" social media, so it doesn't strike a chord with me at all, but thousands of others do seem at least a little interested. My personal experience isn't the whole world's experience.

Can’t win. For a person that purportedly walked away from the Panthers, he sure seems to spend a lot of time talking about them.

Simon Després joining Glasgow for the coming season. In their latest announcement of Chris McKay they accidentally added a sentence mentioning Deprés joining them, but they’ve now removed it from the article…

Not too bothered about losing him. Clearly very skilled and a calm head, but really not blessed with pace now, which is probably why he’s playing at this level.

Can’t win. No he doesn’t,but as I’ve said before,rather than spend money on far too many unnecessary people in the office I’d much rather they spent the money where it matters on the ice. And I’ll bet in a few months time some of those people that try to slate me for saying it will be complaining that “aaahh there is no way we have spent the same on the roster as Sheffield,Cardiff or Belfast” etc etc as happens every year. Well that’s what you get when you’ve got an owner and an office that are more bothered about social media “clicks” and producing uninteresting fluff than they are about winning !

Hang on but to confuse this with a few facts , have you actually seen Steelers devils and giants social media . They use it the same as we do! So this utter tripe that we don't sign the same quality of players because we spend more on media relations and social media than other teams is a fools fantasy.

So this utter tripe that we don't sign the same quality of players because we spend more on media relations and social media than other teams is a fools fantasy. The difference is the Steelers,Devils and Giants consistently produce the goods on the ice and are up there every year competing for every trophy. Panthers meanwhile barely compete for anything these days and all we hear is bleating every year from Panthers fans that “other teams have obviously spent far more than we have”. Look at all those minions,duplicate positions and fancy job titles in Panthers office these days,what do they do all day? Do other teams have all those people,if they do they hide it well. It seems like Black is happy to throw money around in the office but when it comes to the roster it appears a different story. Has having all those extra people in the office the last few years improved Panthers results on the ice,have crowds grown much bigger,are there more sponsors around these days. No,no and no they haven’t therefore it’s money not spent wisely. What would you rather have,a full office of people producing non essential drivel and fluff or less of that and more money directed at the playing side ? I know which I’d rather have,whatever helped or made my team win. There are it seems however some people out there who aren’t really bothered about winning.

Trolls best ignored.
Meanwhile, Twitter/ X is teasing a signing
“Keep em peeled”.
I quite enjoy the offseason anticipation of signings to be honest!!

They're running a very tight ship so far. The rumour/leak mill seems to have been plugged under the new regime. Signings are genuine surprises again this year.
