I'm puzzled as to why Barkov is 2nd line center and not 3rd? Aren't you guys putting a little much on the rookie, seems like a mis management of his career like Buffalo did with Grigorenko.

This is a risk although Barkov is very mature for his age. I´d prefer him starting in the 3rd line just like MacKinnon and later on in the season give him more responsability if he fits in.

Nevertheless, he just turned 18 so it´s not really fair to expect him to be an offensive dynamo, which is what a second line center should be at least to some extent. Hopefully it won´t slow down his development if things don´t work out.

Barkov isn't ready for the first line yet, he'll probably be playing on it soon enough though. Our other promising centers are still in the minors, so for this year, Goc and Matthias will get a lot of top two line minutes.


Btw Panthers Rock, did you make this thread title in honour of the now late Tom Clancy?

Amazing GDT. Well done and respect for title. RIP Tom Clancy.

As much of a shocker it is goc on the first line, I really think he will be the first goal scorer. It's always someone you least expect. I can see the first two lines playing well. I can also see us getting this game to OT and picking up at least a point. We will see.

The title references the passing of Tom Clancy and the Panthers Red October campaign.

So excited to see Barkov finally play! Want to see how he looks out there. Also, hoping for a good season from Huber as well.


AngryTreeFrog - where's the "Barkov Calder watch" thread??? Still waiting.....

btw that last game we played against Dallas (from the 11-12 season) was the most solid Panthers game i've witnessed in a long time. as great as it was to win the SE division, after that game was the best i've felt as a Panthers fan in a loooooong time. that tic-tac-toe goal, and Flesichmans move with that far side wrister.. oh man!

LETS GO PANTHERS!!

Great memory. That was one of the high moments since 96/Bure days no doubt. That was a beautiful hockey game to watch.

:handclap:kudos to PRock for commemorating the just-passed Tom Clancy in his GDT.

Not that I ever read any of his books :laugh:

No disaster prediction this year. It's too easy to forecast disaster. So instead I predict the Panthers crush Dallas and roll on to the Stanley Cup!! :sarcasm:
