Florida Panthers: The Perpetual Build

[LeafFever]

There are certain teams I am so tired of hearing "This Year They'll Be Better". I have been hearing about Florida's "Great Young Talent" for years.

 

[inthewings]

Reimer under contract for two more seasons at $3M+ per. "Yikes" is understating it.

2016-17 : 43 games, 0.920
2017-18: 44 games, 0.913

He's been pretty good for them on that contract. I don't really understand your angle here.

 

[Bizz]

Four. Games.

 

[DFC]

It's kind of odd. They have the cornerstone pieces to be, at the very least, a solid team.

 

[LeafFever]

Four. Games.

yeah but over a decade of hype about great young talent.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Think I rather see Guddy over him, ignoring contracts.

At least Guds won most of his fights.

Guddy is better defensively too. Not that it’s saying much.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Yeah on forward. Defense not so much.

An underrated issue on this board in regards to success is operational budgets. It really affects scouting.

 

[Sam Spade]

Why is their October schedule so bad?

This is not a bad schedule at all. Check out the Oilers if you want to see a bad October schedule.

He never wins games on his own. When we need a big save he almost always lets the team down. Instead of a game turning save it ends up in our net. Any 50/50 play always goes against us. He’s supposed to be a 1B but he’s more of a solid backup

Scouting has been fine. Decision making with picking too many forwards in the draft and screwing up the expansion draft/keeping d players together is on Tallon

 

[Pens x]

Trochek and Barlov are wasting their careers. I hope both can get out of there sooner than later.

I mean the breaks in between games. They don't play regularly until November 8th.

It is hard for a team to get in rhythm early in the season when they don't play.

 

[Bure1096]

Can you stop creating posts like this MIA? Got old last season and over the summer.

 

[Critical13]

I still think they finish in a playoff spot.

They may need to make a move for a goalie tho.

Again check out the Oilers schedule lol.

I'm well aware of the Oilers' schedule. They had a long break because they opened in Europe.

Florida didn't leave their own state for the first twelve days of the season and only played three games.

So Oilers' schedule is worse

The Oilers have nothing to do with this thread, or what I was asking.

 

[space321]

You said their schedule is bad, I'm saying their schedule isn't really bad.

 

[Kranix]

This is a nice little diaolgue

Oh, well it seems that most teams have similar breaks in their schedule early.

Yeah but we started the year on a saturday and did not play until thursday the next week just to play Columbus with their 4th game against us.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Its 4 games, season is over i guess.

We had several of these threads this year and it is Annoying to see so many knee jerk reactions

I caught OT last night, and if I remember correctly, he took the puck behind his own net, came to a complete stop, and then failed to escape a forechecker and ended up turning over the puck. I haven't seen a ton of the Panthers but it was a pretty ugly play for anyone to be making at the NHL level, especially in OT.

The Panthers had Petrovic on the ice in OT?
