Confirmed with Link: Panthers invite M. Havlat on a PTO

[EnforceTheLaus]

So can we sign them both to one contract? There should be about 40 games between them.




Edit: Damn you Mogo, stealing my thunder

 

[Desert Panther]

We gotta sign Booth and Havlat and put Bolland in the middle. They could combine to play 82 games

I think that's a VERY generous assessment.

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

What did I tell ya. "2nd Father" Dale gives Marty another chance.

Good report Bat!

 

[CanadianPantherFan]

I believe you batting1k.

I think your more credible than Harvey lol

Is that saying much though I'd like to take Harvey's spot from Canada. I have an empty soup can and some string to use on my first day.

 

[Gentle Man]

Yay. ...Bat for Harvey


Pure speculation here, but i smell a trade coming

 

[Mogo]

This just also shows there more to Boyes being bought out than just numbers. Boyes must burnt some bridges

I doubt it.

If one of the kids gets traded, i may buy this

i think Boyes buyout was nothing more than a pawn move for something else though.

I think it was just to shed salary.

The Booth and Havlat pto are just to give the young guys competition. If the young guys practice/play like they should, these guys remain free agents. Someone gets injured, regresses, and one of Booth or Havlat show some gas in the tank, then we have a backup plan.

He played with Elias mostly over here.

 

[Android 16]

Somebody has to replace Kopecky's spot as former CHI player #4 player on the team.

So. ...Elias for a 2nd?

Viola trying to bankrupt the team by overspending on medical insurance.

 

[FlaPnthrsPunk]

I think he has less of a chance to make the team than Booth. A shame that injuries have killed his career. He was excellent prior to the 2011-2012 season.

 

[batting1k]

I'm hearing no more PTOs

 

[Little Bobby Boo]

Wish we would give Zidlicky a PTO, would be a great #7

 

[RainingRats]

It's good to have competition and extra bodies during camp. I'm sure Jagr will be taking camp at his own pace so having an extra winger or two can't hurt.

Havlat won't make the team.

Lmao, you win!

 

[Panteras]

so what's next? Choochoo and Setoguchi try outs?

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

If these guys don't mind playing in Portland, then sign them to 2 way deals. Okay depth for injuries

 

[Gentle Man]

Booth - Savard - Havlat.


I'm so running that line on nhl 16

 

[FrolikFan67]

can't see him realistically making it unless he's ok with a 2way deal and play in the ahl. but for that he could go back to the czech republic and play at home. it just gives everyone more competition. they always preach every season they love having competition, we got a former panther fan fav, and a former tallon guy, neither could get signed but it gives everyone competition and helps both guys out regardless what happens.

 

[spacemanatee]

n1 bat

 

[SufferingCatFan]

Tallon has a long-running man crush on Havlat, who like Jussi can also play RW. Assuming that Havlat is healthy and has gas left in the tank (both questionable assumptions IMO), he is capable of providing offense on a cheap one-year contract.

I am starting to get the feeling that the Panthers have doubts about the readiness of some of their AHL prospects (Grimaldi, Howden etc.) and that Tallon may be concerned about offense and serious about creating genuine competition.

I am intrigued by a 2nd line consisting of Crouse, Bjugstad and Havlat or a third line of Crouse, Bolland and Havlat.

Jagr goes hard in training camp. It's not like he shows up just to show up.
