Augsburger Panther shortly before the obligation of an experienced defender

It seems as if the Augsburg Panther would be able to hire a new defender for the coming season. After the relegation that was just avoided last season, it was above all The defensive as a construction site It was identified, which it must be better ordered next year, should not immediately become the table cellar for the habitat of the Panther. At the same time, Leon van der Linde and Max Renner have only two defenders in the squad for the coming season. It is quite possible that a third name will soon be added. According to our editorial team, Ryan Button should be on the approach.

New AEV defender would bring a lot of experience with

The 34-year-old German-Canadian brought the concentrated experience of eleven years of German ice hockey league (Del) with to Augsburg. So far he has played 461 games in the DEL. In 2014, Button had dared to move to Europe and hired Roosters for three years. Two seasons followed in Munichbefore playing in Wolfsburg for the past six years under the ex-Panther coach Mike Stewart. At the end of the past main round, the Grizzlys missed the play-offs and took this disappointment as an opportunity to convert their squad. A total of ten players, including button, were adopted in one fell swoop. An opportunity that AEV sports director Larry Mitchell apparently did not want to miss. On request, however, there was only the (known) answer from Panther side that there were basically not commented on rumors.

Panther goalkeeper thanks emotional words

This also applies to Strauss husband’s personnel. In an emotional Instagram post, last year’s Panther goalkeeper thanks for the support in a « difficult season ». In it he quoted his teammate Alexander Oblinger with the words: « If you are sad when it is done, it means that you had fun. » And he was very sad after the season because he had so much fun ice hockey, Mann writes. He was grateful that Augsburg had the end that deserves it.

All of this sounds very goodbye. Officially, the goalkeeper question has not yet been decidedbut in view of this article, the indications that Straus’s man could no longer return to Augsburg. As already reported, the American had flown back to his homeland on the part of the Panther without a specific contract offer. From the club’s point of view, this is logical behavior, because it belongs to Mitch most important tasks, the market in search of a possibly better alternative to probe. This should also apply to one or the other player of the past season, who has not yet been (yet) adopted. At the same time, this is always a Vabanques game, because in the worst case Mitchell does not find what they are looking for and the waiting player has now joined another club.
