Does this deal make sense?
To FLA:
Panarin
Bobrovsky
To CLB:
James Reimer (stopgap veteran goalie to split with Korpisalo)
Mike Hoffman (can play #1LW and replace alot of Panarin's scoring)
2020 1st round pick
some sort of B prospect
Why does Florida do this, when they could sign them as UFA's?
Well, they can offer the 8th year and keep the cap hit lower, and guarantee them instead of waiting.
NO.
1. Reimer has negative value.
2. Hoffman is a decent player who has one year left on his contract and is an UFA.
3. Not even the 1st this year where odds are that Florida will have a better record by adding these 2 players next year.
4. A (B) prospect?
If this is the offer for the two of them then keep them, try to make a run and let them walk after the season.
But I'm not worried. Panarin is going to get a decent return at the deadline. History shows teams will pay a decent price for a premier player that could push them over the top. He will get a decent futures package.
Bob holds his own cards so maybe he stays and that's fine.
But this is garbage.
