Team: 2020-21 Florida Panthers

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 25, 2020

Published: Mar. 25, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

if such a scenario happens, I still don't think FLA is in horrible shape. I mean, you still have one of the scariest top line in the league, Tippett is a top tier prospect, Connolly has established himself as a 20-25 goals scorer in the past 2 seasons, Acciari is a good 3rd liner with a fair contract and Vatrano is an underrated part of the Panthers' depth.

Now, Let's resign Wallmark and Haula to 2 year deals and see where the team stands after that.

After that, they still have a 14 mil cap space. Weggar has had a nice season and I think he should be kept around for 2 years.

Boyle is a good 4th liner and I think he should be kept in the team to bring leadership and experience. He'd be the team's 12th or 13th forward.

Now, the 2 last major needs are the backup position and a LD... I used the CBO on Matheson cause he just straight up sucks.

I think Jonas Brodin could be the solution to the LD problem. I think FLA could get him for a 2021 1st and a 2022 2nd.

Now, for the backup position, I don't know to be honest if he would accept to play another season (as a backup of course), but if he would I think Craig Anderson still has one good season left in him and since Nilsson has become a very good goalie in OTT and since Hogberg has played well with an awful team, I don't think there's room for Anderson in OTT.

Now, the team is good, but I think the offense lacks something as it stands. Would Alex Galchenyulk accept another change of scenery? Would he accept a «prove it» contract? I think that the Panthers could get him for 2 mil for 1 year.


For that 4th line: rotate Pysyk, Borgstrom and Boyle in and out of the lineup.

I truly think this team is better than this season's team. I know that it would lose around 60-65 goals from Dadonov and Hoffman, but Galchenyuk replaces 15-20, Tippett too and adding Brodin and a better backup could most likely prevent 40 goals or so from getting in the net...

So you lose 60 but when you take into account the 2 forwards that arrive in the lineup you replace 30-40 and you replace the rest by adding a capable backup and a number 3 d-man.


Panthers fans (and everyone else but especially FLA fans), what do you think of this team? Would you be confident with it?

Sorry for the big text guys.
