This is what I put on the Breakaway...
"as seems to be the law in Nottingham these days, he isn't a centre (that would be far too logical with the Cats currently only having one natural centre on their roster in Matt Myers), but a left wing. Dwayne Hay comes to the East Midlands after being cut by the Fresno Falcons of the ECHL. The 6'1, 203lb Canadian isn't exactly an inspiring signing after all the rumours of Don Maclean, particularly as his much-trumpeted (in the Panthers press release) "NHL pedigree" amounts to two goals and four assists with five different teams in 79 games, and his career season was comparable to that of most decent imports in the UK (29+30 in 62 ECHL games with the Pensacola Ice Pilots four years ago). Compare that with Adam Calder's career ECHL season (29+42 one season earlier), and bear in mind that many see Calder as a pure sniper rather than a creator, and you begin to wonder whether Hay will need to be fed the puck to be effective rather than be the feeder the Big Cats desperately need. Of course, he could prove me wrong and absolutely tear up the league, but let's just say this signing hasn't really been greeted with the anticipation MacLean or even Tessier would have been. Oh, and he's coming back from a season cut short by injury. Can you say "underwhelming?", Nottingham?"

I'd agree, he won't bring to the panthers what MacLean would have, but he looks good to watch!
