Friedman: Sergei Bobrovsky and Artemi Panarin to Panthers

[Torontoborn]

Could both players be staying in Columbus after the first round that the team just had? Looks like Bob's stock just went up, I really hope both layers stay. Columbus deserves it!

 

[RABBIT]

I still believe that both will leave. The price may go up significantly depending on how this continues, however

They were going to get paid top dollar anyway. I don't see any significant change happening.

Bobrovsky isn't staying. The haven't made him a competitive offer.

Would really like both players staying in Columbus. Columbus made team franchise history yesterday making the second round in the playoffs. The CBJ GM is finally getting the organization on the right track.

I would like to see what CBJ offers in the off season. I don’t see GM of CBJ letting Bob leave without giving a competitive offer.

They're not signing Bobrovsky considering their cap space

I could only see Panarin staying - Bob is too inconsistent year to year to pay top dollar for

31 million of cap space to get it all done. The odds of them keeping all three of Panarin Bobrovsky and Duchene are minuscule at best.

Good luck. Both Panarin and Duchene are probably getting 10M each.

I think Duchene is likely to resign along with Dzingel. Bob will leave, and Panarin will likely leave unless the Jackets go even further.

swap that. Panarin is certainly leaving. Bob could be convinced to stay.

 

[txpd]

Panarin and Bob were gone for a while. No chance to keep them. Duchene they might be able to sell to stay and Dzingel. Panarin and Bob eventually will be why CBJ loses.

All 30M of our cap space? Lol

Bob's not gonna re-sign, the writing's been on the wall since training camp started. But we're all enjoying this ride off into the sunset with him. Hopefully it ends with a Cup

That cap space will end up being a bit higher with Dubi's buyout.

I think theres no chance to keep Bread but Bob could stay. Bob doesn't have the same allergy to Columbus that Bread appears to be having. Bob has also spent a very significant part of his life in Columbus. Its not going to be cheap though and thats a concern.

 

[HabsDood]

I don't mind where it comes from but at this point, it would be tampering so technically that guy is full of something. Speculation at best.

 

[KevinRedkey]

As a Sens fan, I really hope Duchene re-signs with the Jackets. I think there's a real possibility of it happening too.

As for Bob and Pan - I believe they are gone unless they win the cup. If that happens, Panarin will be their Kane, and Bob will be their Toews (overpaid).

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Jackets have already semi-moved on from Bobrovsky. And I think he has as well.

I don’t see Panarin changing his mind, but if he does, he’ll be able to write his own check.

Duchene seems to want to stay.

Who knows about Dzingel.

McQuaid and Kinkaid are gone.

Reckless is the world I hear often used about him.

 

[Nsjohnson]

It's obvious what's happening. Panarin fires his agent, hires Bob's. Chicago suddenly hires Q. Q nicknamed Panarin Breadman. Neither guy signed with CBJ.

The GM of CBJ isn’t going to let a top 3 goaltender in the league in Bobrovsky walk. Whether that sacrifices Duchene or Panarin so be it. Bob was easy MVP in that series by far.

CBJ needs that boy signed, so quick like Gibson was when Anaheim signed the dotted line on the contract extension. No ifs, ands, or buts

It’s not his choice

You mean Florida hired Q

 

[pb1300]

No way those two arent a packaged deal. When asked if switching agents was to do with wanted to play with Bob, Panarin played it off.

He’s actually as consistent as it gets in terms of regular season performance
