Who here thinks mourice is gonna give samoskevish a chance
My only concern is Ekblad staying. I know a lot of you wanted him to, but he's such a liability for what he makes and it's not right to make Forsling carry him when he took such a deal for us.
Hey guys, just reminding you we're Stanley cup champions
This core is LOCKED IN:
Reinhart: Through 2031-32
Forsling: Through 2031-32
Barkov: Through 2029-30
Tkachuk: Through 2029-30
Lundell: Through 2029-30
Just have to pray that Knight works out and overcomes his personal struggles as well.
We
Still have 5 to 6 million dollars in cap space left
That's it as far as salary cap goes. Panthers lost their back up goalie, going to lose Tarasenko, Lost top 2 offensive defensemen, Montour, Ekman-Larson… plus a bunch of fourth line contributors. This team is right now, inferior to the team that just won the cup. All they did was sign three players they already had and add a bunch of minimum wage free agents. Some of these minimum guys are going to have to elevate along with some rookies.
When am I getting my extension
I got an answer for the defense. Just put Forsling in a machine and fucking duplicate him😂
BTW, I'm not being critical of Zito. He's done a great job. Every contract on the team is below market including the just signed Reinhart. His estimated value was $11 – 11.5 million and he signed for $8.5 million. Barkov and Tkachuk would get at least $2 million more per year if they were free agents and they are locked up until 2030. Those contracts along with Forsling, who's contract is a steal for a guy who had one of the highest +/- 's (I believe 3rd highest) since Wayne Gretzky in the 80's.
Can they move some money on Ekky for this year?
760k left. So barring Ekblad shipped off, it's a min contract. Tarasenko might still bite for it, but think they might have to find it from within if he doesn't considering what people got paid on the first day, Tarasenko should get 3-4M easily if he wants to.
Lundy locked in for 6 years makes me very happy 🙂
ZITOOOOOOOOOOOO
Dude we're gonna be a nightmare to deal with for the foreseeable future 😅
I’m happy we resigned Lundell but 5 million is way too much money for him was hoping to bring back Taransenko as well ain’t happening now
Not too good deal not awful either. I dont think hes atm more than 3.5mil player. Hate me or love me but his offence isint there for me and thats why i thinks its too much. I know hes young and good 200ft player but no points. Theese playoffs are 1 run, i expect more showing than just 1 year. Highest point reg season 44 if i remember right, little overpayment for me.
Great news on Lundell what did Florida offer Montour and why did Montour leave a championship team and the no tax set up in Florida to go to Seattle i guess he is all about the money i hope not WTF
Locking down quality core guys will extend their cup compete window.
The Lundell contract caught me off guard, too, I thought he'd get less money & years. But I'm not going to second-guess Zito. I read that it covers his first two years as a UFA, so he'll be a bargain in those years. And he's only 22, he'll be getting better every year.
With so many top players signed, this year was the last year of the cap crunch. Next year, we can pay Bennett & Verhaeghe $8 mil each, even if we re-sign Ekblad at the same rate. And the cap will be going up, too, so that's another 4-5 mil we have to spend. We can run back this core for another 4-5 years, and there will be cap space available to add to it.
Well seems like Vladdy is heading to Pittsburgh. Sad to see him go but hey he did what he was supposed to do for the panthers and then some. If this is the last move for now then I’m okay with it.
Jaws, can I selfishly ask you to post overall reaction on Bolts free agency this year? 😂 Because, you know, we surely go for each others throats in playoffs this year
That's an overreach for #15
Looks like we got our squad. We really need one of Balinskas or Bjornfut to become something. I also hope Forsling can become a good point man for the power play. I wish he were right-handed. #GOCATSGO
BTW, Jaws, I wasn’t following the channel during the 2023 run, so for shytes and giggles, I looked back at the episodes during the '23 Boston series. I was bored last night. All I will say is, in hindsight, you had some real doozies for takes. I don’t blame you, but…. oof. They were funny to watch.
Bennett is so valuable to the team and probably is up there with barkov and Tkachuk in terms of importance to this team. With reino and Lundell getting what they go i really wonder what Bennett gets
Lundell is another fantastic 200-foot player, great news today.
And Tarasenko gone. When the player takes the money , the cup champ will lose their team every year
The strength of this team is down the middle so Bennett is more important than Swaggy. Sign Bennett first.
🐀🏆📈
Jawwwwssss. Who's taking Tarasenkos spot now? I just saw that he signed with the Red Wings so I'm looking for another video from you 😂
Just lost Tarasenko.
I was thinking we could sign Daniel sprong on a 1 year 775k deal for the third line as he did well in Detroit. For this season for 24-25. Swaggy and Benny would be for 25-26.
When will zito do his yearly waiver wire pickup that turns out to be a steal?
We need to luck up Bennett
not sure how Zito don't win gm if the year the way he retool and find gem out of the blue not sure what else Zito got to do
1 million in space left
That is too much money for AL. I hate paying for potential.
Great move … figured this would happen.. bye bye tarasenko as well😢 your efforts were appreciated
Defense is the bread and butter of the Panthers. I'm not too concerned now 👍
Lundell is essential. We kept all the essential pieces. We couldn’t afford Montour (who was remarkably average this year) and is being overpaid. We kept all the players who are improving and got rid of the guys who are replaceable or primed to slump (Tarasenko, OEL, Montour, Stenlund, Kulikov)
Some of the comments i see regarding Lundell are insane… people saying he is regressing and all that crap. I guess they didn't watch him in the playoffs. I thought he actually got better. Everyone is also complaining about OEL leaving, but at the beginning of last year they were saying "what is Zito doing, OEL is washed." Man, some people… I also think Schmidt is a kind of "OEL-type" situation in that he could really have a bounce-back year. He defensive numbers are still strong.
Cats got younger,bigger and deeper than last seasons team. The only real question is can the new D guys fill the OEL and Montours spots. Go Cats
