Post-Game Talk: Panthers kick off November with their 10 straight win vs Detroit. 22-3 in last 25 in the Motor City

Enter guzda, waeber, glifford, muszelik and gerasimyuk. I have a feeling waeber and guzda are seen as the contingency plan if Bob falls off a cliff or is traded and Knight is no longer seen as a future starter. Waeber has yet to look bad and guzda looks like he may be a backup one day. Zito was smart to not put all of his goaltending eggs in the Knight basket. He stockpiles at all positions, unlike any Panthers GM I can think of.

He gave a goalie on an ELC with 30 games experience during which he was pretty mediocre 4.5 million a year, I would say he has invested far too heavily in knight.

One of the weirdest moves he’s made. Of course he couldn’t have known what would happen with Knight’s OCD issues and he probably also expected Bob to be cooked lol

Knight was terrific until his issues overtook him. Hopefully he’ll come back, but this time last year he looked to be taking over the starting role. Iirc

He signed the extension before that, until then he had a .909% and 2.74GAA. Nothing worth 4.5M, but GMs have recently paid a premium to get top prospect to sign a contract that still ends as a RFA.
And yeah, he was playing great until Maurice mentioned that he basically was the number 1, iirc in Winnipeg or something.

Let me clarify. Yea, he overpaid on Knight. I fully agree. But by loading up the cupboard with young goalies of varying ages, Zito at least has some sort of contingency plan in place.

I know he signed before, it’s a mystery why he chose to give him that, maybe something was in the works? Or something else was being discussed, but I’ll take this kind of contract over a Bolland/Matheson(at the time)/Bob/etc contract.

I was expecting a big hitter, not a solid in all three zones guy.

Blues fans seemed to think he was at the ceiling, there is still more there I think.

I'm surprised at that, considering I had seen him a few times but I thought he had a lot more to give.

Could this also hindered him? A lot pressure signing that big deal. High pressure and OCD not a good combo?

When will Gadjovich make his Panthers debut, didn't he sign his contract like two weeks ago?

 

[Ghoste]

When will Gadjovich make his Panthers debut, didn't he sign his contract like two weeks ago?

The next Boston game.

I think he’s been injured?

 

[KW]

I think he’s been injured?

Yeah he’s had an injury. If he’s back for the next Bruins game and breaks his hand on McAvoy’s face, it will have been worth it.

He’s year to year

Don't ask why Michael Jordan didn't play in 1994.

I bet you we'll never know!

I think the playoffs helped Bob solidify himself with this organization. He was really shaky up to that point and I couldn’t wait to figure out how to get rid of him. But he has turned it around. I do think a lot of his problems were mental and the epic playoff run helped him feel good about his play and his spot here as our go-to guy in net. I would bet he loves being counted on as the guy and is feeling very confident right now
