Matt Ross: Game #21: St. Louis Blues

They need to get a streak going. This win one lose one isn't hacking it.

What could the Panthers get for Reinhart or Bennett? A high draft pick? They can't take on a high price salary.

Barkov a game-time decision? Give me a break, and you call him captain material.

No wonder we have to play with 11 forwards when one gets hurt when we have a 10mil goalie on the bench more often than not

For one the Panthers are not sellers, so you won't see either traded. Reino may fetch a late 2nd if they were selling, probably closer to a high 3rd plus a lotto ticket prospect. Bennett to a buyer may get a late 1st. But neither are being sold. only 75% of the season left. get in and anything can happen. And you don't sell until the all-star break first then the deadline. Give it a little time before declaring that the sky is falling.

Not “sellers”in that they are giving up on the season, but unless someone else goes out on ltir, they’re gonna have to make a move when Duclair is ready to come back from injured reserve.

No falling, just slipping

When Bortuzzo went off for tripping six minutes into the third, http://moneypuck.com had the Panthers' chances of winning at 98.5%

That was
something

The Panthers are not a dominating team. Other teams are separating themselves from the pack. Bruins, Toronto, and Tampa Bay are leading the pack. It is time to make hay while there still is time. The Panthers will have to make a move when Duclair is ready to come back, which will be in the latter part of December. That means Duclair, Bennett or Reinhart will be moved. They are above the salary cap. They will not be able to sign a high price defenseman because of that situation. What bothers me is if they do tank, they don't have a first draft choice.

Here, here you hit that right on the head. Another mistake by Dale Tallon.

He’s sick, “non-covid” illness.... I guess means the flu?
He’s not traveling with team and will be out of lineup for the games in Edmonton and Calgary.
