Not that good. Anyone know if Bergy is still awaiting consultation? Goc is out until February. If they are both out:

Flash-Weiss-Versteeg
Upshall-Huberdeau-Mueller
Kopecky-Matthias-Santorelli
Skille-Smithson-Parros
Wellman?

Kuba-Campbell
Kulikov-Weaver
Jovo-Gudbranson
Ellerby

Gudbranson will not be in top form right away either

 

[Prominence Problem]

Just going by what was on Yahoo!. I thought Santorelli was not brought back?

Kris Versteeg- Stephen Weiss- Tomas Fleischmann
Peter Mueller - Jonathan Huberdeau - Sean Bergenheim
Jack Skille- Shawn Matthias- Tomas Kopecky
George Parros- Marcel Goc - Scottie Upshall


Brian Campbell - Erik Gudbranson
Dmitry Kulikov - Mike Weaver
Filip Kuba - Ed Jovanovski

Jose Theodore
Scott Clemmensen

He was cleared for contact last week, so I would assume that he plays with the Panthers.

So...when does the Luongo to Panthers rumors start up again

Go watch TSN video on the web main player thing they talk about is Luongo and where he is going. Also hint that we won't be able to sign Weiss so he will be trade bait no idea why that would be.

Oh God no.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

No way Huberdeau goes right to center. Could they have Shore fill in for Goc for a week at least?

Panger thinks he ends up in Florida, Mckenzie says it would probably be between us and the Leafs, unless Vancouver waits till the season progresses a bit to see if any other team steps up. I really dont want to go off topic, but I do think he ends up in a Panther jersey. The interesting comment they made was that Luongo has been skating in South Florida, and some of our players have gone to management and said that he looks great and they want him here.

And I think that Weiss comment is a bit premature. We will have the cap space to get him signed, and if he wants to re-sign with us, Im sure Tallon would be on board.

Im sure Matthias would slot in to the 3rd line center spot until Goc returns. I think he earned that after the way he played against the Devils in the playoffs.

Thank God! Banner up!

I don't get why McKenzie thinks it's so obvious we won't resign him.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

It's interesting looking at the old schedule before the lockout. Guess who the Panthers were scheduled to play on January 19th? Yes, you guessed it, the New Jersey Devils, at home. I wonder if this all ends up falling in line for that to happen after all of this? Would be amazing how that worked out.

I love all the tough-guy hockey fans on facebook saying "Who cares?!" and "boycott NHL". It's ridiculous, we're all going to watch hockey again. That's the power the NHL has over us. We want to watch hockey, and we wan't to watch it at it's highest level.

I am one of those who said boycott hockey,and I meant it. I am not trying to be a tough-guy,and I def will watch it on tv, but I certainly won't be buying tickets anytime soon, and I was a season ticket holder. I am truly excited that hockey is back, but look at what they did for the last 100+ days! What about all those people who lost jobs because of these greedy a-holes? What about us fans, who have paid decent money to watch hockey? You mean to tell me that grown @$$ adults couldn't figure something out a year ago, so this sort of thing didn't happen?? The players got a nice $10k check during the lockout, well shouldn't those employees get the same privledges? They did this during holiday season for crying out loud.
Also, not for nothing but isn't it ridiculous that the NHL can put the fans through this crap and spit in our face,but as soon as they reach an agreement all the fans go flocking back? The fans are mindless sheep.. Again, I love hockey and the Panthers more than most things.. I eat,sleep, breathe Panthers but this is out of hand and the NHL/PA should be embarassed and ashamed.

He's signed for one more year.

No way Huberdeau goes right to center. Could they have Shore fill in for Goc for a week at least?

Well, we have no one else to play center. Plus Tallon alluded to him centering Upshall and Mueller already. I actually think he'd do better at center than on the wing right now because he still gets pushed around so much along the boards even in junior hockey. He'll get closed off every time in the NHL. He has to get a lot stronger. At center, he can just concentrate on distributing the puck. The downside is, he needs a lot of work on his defensive game too.

Shore would probably be even less effective than Huby at center. I don't think he's ready for the bigs yet.

 

[Panthers are Red]

Is it bad that the lockout only ended a couple of hours ago and I am already worrying about how Jovo is going to play this season?

 

[Lundell4Prez]

Assuming we see Drew Shore up..

 

[SoupyFIN]

Oh God no.

I don't get why McKenzie thinks it's so obvious we won't resign him.

Just trying to get the teams hopes up that are on the other side of the border.

Heeey, Jovocrap. I missed that name. Sort of, in a sick-not-at-all-fun way.

 

[Prominence Problem]

I don't care how he plays again this season, as long as he plays like he did in the playoffs last year. Where did that come from?!!?

Blast from Jovo's past.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

So anyone think we use any of our buyouts this year?

 

[CHGoalie27]

Missed you guys! Here's what I hope to see:

Kris Versteeg- Stephen Weiss- Tomas Fleischmann
Jonathan Huberdeau - Peter Mueller - George Parros
Sean Bergenheim- Shawn Matthias - Jack Skille
Scott Upshall - Marcel Goc - Tomas Kopecky


Brian Campbell - Erik Gudbranson
Dmitry Kulikov - Mike Weaver
Filip Kuba - Alex Petrovic (Jovonovski retires!!!)

Jose Theodore
Scott Clemmensen

 

[Dread Clawz]

I don't, not with all our injuries.

Oooooo, I like that second line. And we still need to sign Kulikov. Get it done Tallon.

 

[Egblad]

Hockey is back! **** yeah!

 

[Egblad]

SO exciting. Nice to see all of you again! Finally!!!

 

[SoupyFIN]

I don't, not with all our injuries.

I agree with this.

If everyone was healthy, Santo would have been on the way out IMO, but DT can just leave him without a QO next summer and he'll become a UFA, just like Wolski.

edit: Unless Santo has somehow turned his game around and impresses Dineen. I seriously doubt that thou.
