There was a comment by Chris Ellis on the latest Panthers podcast that has got me adding 2 + 2 and getting 46. He was talking about the number of Brits that have moved this off season and said more were likely. He does a lot with GB so could we see a further Brit signing to Panthers? Does Halbert have a contract for 24/25?

I interpreted Ellis's comment to be about Panthers doing well to have kept some of their Brits, rather than necessarily hinting at future Brit signings. Although I think Halbert would be a good signing if interested and deemed affordable, I believe he would be classed as an import despite being a GB player.

There appears to be a groundswell of opinion that Henbrandt will be returning. To add fuel to the rumour, last week he 'liked' a post of a picture of the dressing room by the Panthers' equipment manager, which had a comment along the lines of 'not long to go now'.

I’d certainly take him back. Entertaining player to watch.

I'm guessing considering that he's a 2nd year pro, I'm guessing while I'm sure will be a pay rise, I don't think it's a bank buster, so yes sign him up

I thought that rule would've been recended by now or modified that a maximum of 2 dual nationals count in your Brit Pack

Yes he'd class as an important not a Brit For as much as Halbert would be a good signing I would be surprised to see him back in EIHL so soon. Now I could be wrong but I believe he only did his stint in the UK for the required time for him to become eligible as a dual national for GB and wanted to try and make his career in Europe. After a decent first year in Austria it’d be a surprise to see him back in EIHL so soon… but I wouldn’t be displeased if he made his way to us.

He's just signed in the Slovakian league

Yes he'd class as an import not a Brit I feel like this rule needs to change, if guys are willing to come over and represent GB it doesn't seem right that they should be classed as 'imports'. I know that the rules were being bent all over the shop in the 90's, but why not have a limit of say, one dual-national per side alongside the British quota?

Belfast have signed a 3rd nettie today.
What happened to Besko? Possibly the best keeper in the league to losing his place and out.
Age 34, but same age as who they’ve just brought in.
Hopefully we have a decent keeper lined up.

Probably just needs a bit of Iggy motivation? You know, get a grip, sort yourself out, have some ambition, get off your backside?

I've spent a smidge too long doing image searches and the only thing I can find is they play in Hummel jerseys so maybe not.

Probably Gabriel Desjardins as he was coached by Pacha in Dundee

That is their 2022 jersey by the looks of it. www.eliteprospects.com/team/944/sonderjyske/2022-20232 familiar names are Victor Bjorkung and Patrick Galbraith, but I doubt they are the signing in question. 2 former EIHL players who haven't played with Panthers, but have played at Dundee: Charlie Combs and Gabriel Desjardin. Or it could be a player with no prior links.

Also on that team was Nicolai Bryhnisveen who played for the Blaze in 18/19 and in the Elite Series...
Edit: maybe scratch that one as Elite Prospects are showing he retired back in May.
