Aaron Ekblad, too much, too fast

Ekblad is amazing and you dont watch him enough

Exactly. Even if Ekblad becomes a true number 1 D the contract barely saves the Panthers anything. High risk but little reward is not the way to go especially for a guy still on his rookie contract. Not impressed in the way Florida handled the contract extensions for some of their players.

Yeah, the new management seems better at UFAs, but worse at RFA negotiations.

Unless I'm missing something, shouldn't signing UFA's as the Panthers GM be relatively easy considering taxes/the fact that it's freaking Florida???

We signed Bolland for $5.5m a few years ago!

We weren't an attractive destination for years due to being a terrible team. So we had to overpay to get UFAs. That has improved with being a better team, and the new management group.

I think Florida should have done a lot better on the deal but I think Ekblad is going to be a multiple Norris winner.
