Is Jackson Whistle signed up by anybody yet??
Facebook post by the Giants on Thursday says he’s staying with them.
I would take Brust over Jackson whistle.. not a number 1 yet IMO

At the start of last season I was excited by the Brust signing. I was disappointed when he turned up unfit, and his attitude was all wrong. Apart from one hit behind the net, I can't recall any outstanding moments. I don't think he won us any games.
I honestly don't think Brust brings anything to the table, and that we should be looking elsewhere.

Brust in my opinion was at times a fantastic goalie and on a few occasions (far to few I may Add) showed his pedigree. To clarify my position, I am not wanting to see barry brust back, Especially the one that turned up last season, but his game craft, positioning and style was much better than the Rok and that was clear to see. Unfortunately that Barry Brust was 4 years ago for the main part, but a fit and motivated Barry Brust would be a far better Goalie than Jackson Whistle...

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
Can I suggest you look up Craig Kowalski with Dan Green as bench warmer/door opener?

Kowalski played in the EIHL between seasons 2010 - 2015, was a top end N/M over those 5 years he was in our league.

Easily in the top 3 netminders I have ever seen play in the EIHL. That's the level we need if we want to be successful this season I think.
