Same for me (most important position). I was hoping we’d have found out who our number 1 is by now.

It won't be Kevin Poulin as he's signed up for an AHL team for 2022/23

This is the main reason I dislike the 2 import netminders approach. It’s the most important position in the ice and I have never got the logic of getting 2 decent netminders when you could get one great one for the money you spent on the 2. Panthers tried it, didn’t win anything and now we’re trying it and haven’t won anything since we did

I must admit I am getting a little nervous that the last guy we have to sign is the Netminder, i hope thats not the case, the netminder signing in my opinion makes or breaks this squad... :zip:

It seems the least important role to Fox based on Aaron’s previous dealings.

Panthers haven’t won anything with one tender! Unless you count that tinpot series
It worked for Cardiff and Belfast with Carruth, Korzun Besko, Whistle, trouble is we don’t have the clout to sign such quality over 2 slots

Club Instagram account posted a picture of Barry Brust last night.

Read into that what you will.

I noticed he's also on the Mascot packages page with his lovely brown pads on the Steelers website as well.

I'd be happy if he was our number 2, if he's our number 1 then we won't be challenging for any silverware.

He would have been a fantastic signing 5 years ago.

If / when he returns, I'm sure he'd be part of a tandem.

Also he has a lot of experience to share with Warburton and McLaughlin
