Team: 2022-23 Florida Panthers

Initial Creation Date: Sep. 18, 2022

Published: Sep. 18, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

The Florida Panthers are not a well managed team. They threw away their biggest superstar who just set a franchise record and their second best defenseman to get a shiny new toy whose cap hit is higher than both of them combined which doesn’t help. They also threw off their next three first round picks in the course of one year which will really screw them in the long term. They are just like Vegas pretty much with the way they treat their players. I’m sure they will be in the playoffs again, but I think last year might be their best for a long time.

Barkov is better than Huberdeau, so is Tkachuk.

Tkachuk should be on the 1st line with Barkov and Verhaeghe

You do realize both of them needed contracts would have been 8x10 for one and 6x7 for the other. And weegar was atrocious on the playoffs and wasn’t gonna be on this team regardless.

Do you think Evgeny Kuznetsov is better than Patrice Bergeron?

they are not even, Bergeron is at least two tiers above Kuznetsov. You're proving my point that points are not the only way to evaluate a player.

Barkov's production has been nearly identical to Huberdeau, and he's the far superior defensive player. Barkov also drives play at an elite rate, Huberdeau does not. Huberdeau is one of the best playmakers in the game but is not as well rounded as Barkov or Tkachuk
