Yep. I wouldn't have a problem with acquiring him. But I don;t see the Panthers trading him, they need him for a playoff run if it is going to happen. I suspect he re-signs with them anyhow.

The funny thing is I don't find it boring. Boring is not forechecking and packing the neutral ice. Trotz's Nashville and Washington teams weren't boring either.

Heads up, fellas!
Agree. A lot being written down here about the lack of a real rivalry between FL and TB and the reasons for it; never faced each other in playoffs, good at different times, etc. Frankly I think it's all BS. It comes down to no fans and no energy in the building when at BBT. How can there be a rivalry if on one side of it nobody gives a damn.
That, and FL pro sports are weird as it is. Fan bases, such as they are, are all from somewhere else.
Read the FL GDT and I'm not sure they were watching the same game we were. We possessed the puck in their zone for what...75% of the game? Had all sorts of chances, clamped down defensively, and had Bob not played the way he did we win that one by a much larger margin. But here are some quotes that made me chuckle...
The Panthers aren't going to win the Cup, but neither are these tomato cans.
Devils made me hate the sport for a while, and these guys are going to get me there soon enough if they keep this crap up.
It was just a boring **** game against a boring **** team that plays boring **** hockey and Greiss has our number. Tip your cap and move on with your life knowing that Barry Trotz is going to die having done more to kill sport in your lifetime than anyone else in the world.
They'll bounce back and win a couple.
God, islanders hockey could lull a underground rave to sleep.
Whatever if goal tending stays solid I’m not overly worried.
Anders Lee probably has one of the most punchable faces of the NHL...
I think there's a little bit of overreaction to what was another game against the boring, grab-ass Islanders with Greiss playing out of his gourd against the Panthers.
This is the kind of game where after watching it, you wish they'd contract one of the teams involved. Personally, I think they should contract the Islanders for playing Barry Trotz boring ass dog**** hockeym, but at this point I'd settle for them contractinf the Panthers if it means I never had to watch this kind of crap again.
Islanders are the new Devils.

Don't forget trash hockey.
It's fun watching peoples' heads explode when they see defensively-sound hockey shut down their team.

He is exactly the type of player who will be available if the Panthers are out of it. Right now they have more losses than wins and are 4 points out of the final playoff spot, so no guarantee at all they will still be in it come the deadline.
One would think they would rebound because of all the talent up front but the defense is seriously lacking. Fifth worse in allowing goals, one of the worse in allowing shots and Bobrovsky having his worse season of his career.
Hoffman is an expiring contract, so if the season is lost then they can still re-sign him after the season and get something for him now. He SHOULDN'T command as much as a controllable asset would in trade, and we could offer up DEF depth which they sorely need...........
Hoffman/Barzal/Eberle
Lee/Nelson/Brassard
Beau/OPEN/Bailey
Martin/Cizikas/Clutterbuck
Get your third line center and away we go.............
Meh, that’s just sour grapes. I poked my head in there, and pretty sure all those quotes are from one jackoff that keeps repeating himself.
If you have some time -- go check out the FLA thread about the game. One guy there is absolutely convinced that the Isles are the most evil team on the planet. And then he starts making comments about NY.
Now - as we all know -- NY has several problems -- but not much can help Floridas main problem, red-neck stupid.
Good luck Panthers -- with your team and your life down there...

So why are you falling into the same milieu? Red neck stupid? Come on. No one down here elected DeBlasio, that disqualifies your comment right off the bat.

The one thing that's funny is the boring hockey. It's not boring from my perspective as an Isles fan, we get high quality chances, physical hockey and aggressive forechecking. Other teams play around the perimeter and rarely see a odd man rush. It's boring for them, not us. Not my problem.

We most certainly are NOT the turn of Century Devils, who played a trapping quicksand game.
Isles much more aggressive on forecheck.
We do deny the good offensive sections of the ice to the other team like the Devils.

Are underground raves still a thing?
Hockey in general is going back in time a bit because refs (all refs) are being far more selective about calling interference penalties against defenders on dump-ins. That's allowing defenders to keep tighter gaps. Of course, that has nothing to do with NYI.

Its not, it’s an easy way to get a ban, I’ll be more then happy to add points on if a Florida mods asks us too.
I for one say to Cats fans, bring it. We need another rivalry because the Devils, Rangers and Penguins don’t offer much of one anymore.

The poster was only liking the posts of one individual, an individual who was making asinine comments about the game, our city and our team.
It was funny.

What I would give to have some offensive players on this team that said Trotz is the best coach on the planet and many Floridians are New York transplants so maybe the author or others just hate their neighbors ? IMO If our team does not acquire a finisher or 2 we will be one and done come playoff time / rinse repeat --> pull the trigger Lou

Stay safe!
Liking posts can lead to points? That sounds quite heavy handed to me. I can understand if someone responded and posted a troll post that deserves it, but to simply like something or like a series of posts is punished? Then why is the like system even in place?
Not trying to give you crap Eck, but I find that ridiculous.
This first line will never see the day. Never Trotz will put on the same line two of the worst defensive players of the league (Hoffman and Eberle). What's more, why removed Beauvillier from the Nelson / Brassard line? Especially that Lee showed a lot of chemistry with Bailey.
