NHL 2024- 2025 Out of Town III: Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk out for regular season with groin injury

  • Xenforo Cloud has upgraded us to version 2.3.6. Please report any issues you experience.
question is, who`d want him?
Blazing fast forward who has rocks for brains offensively but can win draws with his eyes closed?

I honestly don't think you'd have to look long for a taker. Guys like that can be super valuable come the postseason. This is the same league where Paul Gaustad went for a first round pick, for some reason many moons ago at the deadline.

It wouldn't be a big haul by any means but there's probably something out there.

Man, that Gourde deal.

Wonder if they kicked the tires on Coyle, Zacha or Geekie?

Tampa certainly don't muck around. Zero compromise or half-measures through 2019-22. All about the Cup in the here and now. Then they tailed off in the last couple of years and were a bit quieter, and I think it was generally thought their run was done. Clearly though BriseBois has sniffed the wind and decided they have a real shot again this year. And he might well be right.

Panthers are still good but beatable and quite possibly will tire, rest of the east all have question marks. West has some strong teams but it could be a war that will leave the last man standing quite burnt out by the finals. Bolts are the hottest team in the league right now, still have the Vasilevskiy factor. They're as good a chance as anyone I'd say.

Florida just beat them so I am sure that helped push Brisbois to this.They paid a big price.

They did. Think it would be very tight over the course of a series though.

And yeah, steep, too steep for this particular return it feels like, but this is the Tampa way and it gets results. Perhaps they have overcommitted this time to no purpose, but wouldn't bet against them.
