Thread: This Team Will Be Deadly
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kylonetic8</b></div><div>Good in depth analysis.

Anyway, I don't see Sprong as highly as you, ClockReads2113. Not sure why you think the guy is so good. I think Sheary is better (had him mocked to us twice this past summer), and will be 3LW. So we'll have a 3rd line of Sheary-Eller-Panik, which is actually really good on paper. Panik has more finish than Hags, and Sheary certainly has more finish than Hags but with similar speed. Eller is Eller, the tiger. With Panik starting like normal with the addition of Sheary, this 3rd line should crush our 3rd line from last year.

Vanacek is probably going to be just fine, quality backup. Just needs some experience.</div></div>

I don't mind that Sheary-Eller-Panik line at all. I like it a lot. But I've been following Sprong since his draft year, he has elite speed and shot. Think he's just been shafted with the teams he's played on. He was far and away the player in camp before the return to play and I think he's hungry to prove his worth. Think he's going to have a beast of a year. We'll see.

Thread: Utilizing the cap space from Lundqvist LTIR and Panik cap dump
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brady_t12</b></div><div>I mean if Hoffman wants to sign for more money with a worse team, he can do that. I just thought he’d be sick of missing the playoffs every year between his time with Ottawa and Florida. And sadly, as much as I’d love to see Panik flourish, he had so many chances last season and he just couldn’t finish. Maybe he does turn it around, but I just don’t know.</div></div>

He was one of the teams best play drivers, he was just incredibly unlucky. He was on pace for 30 points last and someone getting paid $2.75M that's good. The crazy thing is that's even with not scoring the first 12 games. Remove those and he's on pace for almost 40 points. Have a feeling he kills it this season with that Panik-Eller-Sprong line.
