2021 Florida Panthers off-season thread. Free Agent Frenzy July 28th

[Prominence Problem]

is anyone cringing a little bit while watching this lol

I made sure Seattle took Judge, now back to baseball.

I liked watching Dreidger. Hopefully he plays well in Seattle and Bob can actually live up to the contract this year. Also looking forward to seeing the Rookie goaltender get a full year in, after his great efforts in the playoffs. Unfortunately I already forgot his name.

BTW, the new home Seattle Jersey that Judge was wearing looks atrocious.
The road jersey Eberĺe is wearing looks all right though.

This is unbearable

This is unbearable

It was just as bad in 2017. I was watching until Driedger was picked but turned it off once it became clear that apparently no trades are being announced. Here's the roster, well probably get trade action tomorrow

 

[floridada]

How the hell were there 0 trades? Is Francis even trying?

Yeah that’s honestly embarrassing.

 

[Gentle Man]

That's only 10 for me

28m this isn't over

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Tomorrow at 1 will be interesting, obviously there are a bunch of deals coming in. Taking Carsen Twarynski over JVR or Voracek, have a feeling there's something big with Philly they did.

What a stupid decision by the league to delay the announcement of these trades...

I don’t understand at all why some are upset with us losing Driegs. There was no way he was gonna stay, so given that, we did the best possible.

What am I missing?

I'm wondering that, too. Driedger really didn't have a place here with Knight coming in and playing the way he did, plus Bob's contract.

This seems like a good move for all parties.

I'm not really seeing anyone upset losing him... Probably just sad to see him go

 

[Panteras]

I like Driegs, he did a good job as our back up, but I also think it’ll be a totally different monster for him getting the starting gig….

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Is it 1 o clock yet?

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Keep seeing twitterings that Wennberg may be back

If Vatrano's leaving, it makes sense.

A goalie who was trending in the wrong direction at season's end. I have a feeling he may get exposde this season with a bigger workload and not as good defense core, despite playing behind KY last season.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention he only has 38 NHL games experience.

Ya I think Wennberg could help Lundell defensively on the 3rd line.
If it's 2-3 yrs x $3 mil then I'd be down
