I'd argue Bergenheim would be top six and not Kopecky.

HERE'S OUR BULLSHYT TRAVEL. SO UNFAIR TO TB AND FLORIDA. THIS IS THE NHL NOT GIVING A CRAP.

Same but Kopecky earned that right after having a good season last year. Bergy needs to earn it back since he was a bitcch last season.

We needed it, though. The Caps and Hurricanes are so damn boring and they aren't going to break up any of the Atlantic or Northeast rivalries. Bring em on.

I suppose you're right. He was a little girl wasn't he? I know you're just going to LOVE this, but I heard Howden is in great shape and looks great. We will see at dev camp.

true but now all our division home games will SOUND like road games since a lot of people from Canada live in Florida and go to those games. It's not going to be fun, I can promise you that.

I don't listen to those reports anymore. He could look better than anyone and be faster than anyone but he still needs to produce on the NHL level. Having ZERO points in like 14 games is crazy to me. Jack Skille 2.0 lol

I think he played 18. In regards to the away fans in our arena, bring them the fucck on, too. I have no problem slapping some old Montreal broad. I always find that them being there causes our fans to be louder.

Here's something not being talked about much.. Versteeg isn't going to be playing until around mid November. I just realized that. That changes things dramatically.

Are you from NY?

For real? Thought he was cleared and all set to play?! Wow we might not have over 20 wins this year lol

Huby-Barkov-Fleischman
Bergenheim-Shore-Kopecky
Matthias-Goc-Upshall
Crabb-Winchester-Butler

That has got to be upgraded. Oh man...

Are you from NY?
- floridapanthers4ev

No sir, born in Margate, Florida and raised in Boca Raton.. which is about 20 minutes from the BB&T Center.

EDIT: My entire family is from Brooklyn, NY and my fiancé and her family are all from Long Island. If that counts..

I thought so too but I was just talking to a few guys who write for the team and he's looking to return in November.

yeah no one calls a woman a broad unless they are from Brooklyn lol too funny. My family is from the Bronx. Florida is a lot nicer, good for you for staying down there!!

We went up to Selden Long Island a few years back and I fell in love with it. My dad is from Bay Ridge. I can't stand it down here, I've been here my entire life. Meh.

Breaking news, we just sighned 2 new players. Hahahahahahahaha

Matsumoto we had last year, he's a really good AHL guy for now. A lot of scouts are in love with him. Gilroy is a former Hoby Baker winner. Guy is 10 times better than Strachan. You sign these types of players so that when someone gets hurt.. and someone always does.. you don't have to call up a 17 year old to fill in. It allows you to develop properly.

We just cut like 5 or 6 AHL guys got to replace them and I like the pick ups. I liked Matsumoto a lot when he was here glad to see him back. But I haven't really seen gilroy play so can't really say much about him.

He's a former NYR so you know he's not that bad. He is, in my opinion, a better blue liner than Strachan. Two solid additions. So is Crabb, Winchester, and Mottau.

We should have a good AHL team. Now we just need to sign a top 6 center, resign mueller, and dump Clemmer and sign a goalie to split with mark.

I was at development camp today and let me tell you this... Howden and Bjugstad look amazing. They are gonna be tough to leave off the main roster. Racine, McFarland, Trocheck, Matheson, Delnov... all looked really damn good.

Our AHL team is going to be stacked. I agree that Mueller should be resigned, especially since we won't have Versteeg for a month or so.

Ya I was there today as well. And I got to say compared to last year bjugstad and Howden have improved a lot. Matheson is a amazing skater by far the best one there. But I can't wait to see the scrimmage on Friday.

they look good until they play against REAL NHL players. Howden and Bjugstad got exposed at the end of the season on a team where pressure doesn't fit into the equation.
