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

Jones is completely overrated

 

[I am not exposed]

Holy f***. 9.5 lmao

I don't ever want to hear about Ekblads contract again lol

In all fairness, the Ekblad contract was signed a few years ago, and it was the first couple of seasons people complained about, because he didn't live up to the contract. The last couple of years it has been fine, and there has been no complaining.

Told all'ya that the return for Jones will kickstart Lumbus' rebuild process.

Kickstarted Chicago's too.

Boqvist is very good

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Boqvist is nothing special imo. Another Barrie/Shattenkirk/Yandle-type.

Man, the moves the Flyers and Hawks look soo desperate..its pathetic.

Apparently Elliot Friedman said we were kicking around acquiring Reinhardt from the sabres..

 

[Great8Cam]

eklund is saying we are in on Nate Schmidt. I know it’s ek, but maybe

All were top offensive players in their younger days though. Boqvist only 20 lol.

Sure, they'll get ppl to buy tickets but winning championships with them is another story.

I mean.

Columbus isn't close anyway so lol

He'll get traded again like Barrie got traded before the Avs really became a major threat in the playoffs.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Just got home, that Blackhawks trade is something lmao. Absolutely horrendous.

Canucks trade was bad too, yeah it probably makes them the 3rd best Pacific team but those terrible contracts were gone next year (Eriksson, Beagle, Rousell). Benning tried to save his job for 5 playoff games and has really made a mess for his successor.

Im glad I’m not the only one. Jones isn’t that amazing offensively, or defensively. He’s a good skater, but that’s about it. Lol sucks for Chicago.

Us being linked to that many centers makes me wonder if Bennett is asking for too much or Zito rather would have him on wing

Who except for Kuzy?

Would be pretty funny to end up with Ekblad Reinhart and Bennett. 3 of the top 4 in 2014

I don't mind it but Reinhart is going to want a decent payday as a RFA.
Don't know if it works cap wise long term.

Hard pass on Reinhart. He's not worth of what KAdams is asking.

Didn't hear the ask but not sure I wanna know.
It's defense focus for me right now if we trade the 23rd pick.

Adams is trying to fleece teams with Eichel and Reinhart and I think that Zito can find similar players for a fraction of the acquisition cost it would take to get Reinhart.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

He will get a haul for Eichel no doubt but Reinhart should be moved right around this pick value if he's going tonight. Ultimately I think Eichel is moved and Reinhart will be re-signed by BUF, overpaid of course.

Boqvist will be better than Jones in less than 2 years. Book it.

 

[ProjectPanthers]

PLEASE GET SAM REINHART.

Kid is criminally underrated in this league and would score 35 on Barkov's wing.

 

[Ghoste]

Seems like Reinhart would definitely help our PP.
