  • We're expecting server maintenance on March 3rd starting at midnight, there may be downtime during the work.
With the acquisition of Jones the Panthers are undeniably a better team today than they were yesterday.

You can argue if Florida paid a fair price. You can argue if Jones contract is any good. What is undeniable truth is that Jones will improve Florida's chances at winning another cup more than Knight and the 1st ever will.

Treliving better get off his butt and do something.

If I was Matthews seeing this unfold I wouldn't be happy. The objective is to win this year... THIS year. Hoarding futures and prospects does nothing to help win a cup now.

Management is clearly incompetent.

They tell us they're all in, that they're doing everything they can to win a cup, then sit on their hands while their competition improve. Not doing anything is a show of non-confidence in the players. Another slap in the face to an increasingly impatient fan base who were promised a Stanley Cup.

We want it all and we want it now... right now.

There is still 5 days until the deadline and most teams haven’t made their moves yet. If the deadline comes and goes and they’ve still done nothing then I agree, but right now this criticism is very premature.

Who is they? The GM never said they were all in when discussing it on Friday

We just need to move one of the 11 mil+ players to LTIR until the playoffs.
 
Panthers have 3 first round picks in next 3 years. They only need 2.

They can trade 1 more. It would be conditional.

I expect it will be included for the player who is acquired using Tkachuk Cap Space.
They can trade their 2025 if the condition is its top ten but it would slide to 2027
They can not trade their 2026 as it will go to the Flames or Chicago.
They can trade their 2027 with the same condition as the deal with Chicago (if the have it)
Realistically no team is trading for their 2025 as its almost impossible for it to be top ten and it will slide to 2027.
Calgary will get the 2025
Chicago will get the 2026
The can trade the 2027 with condition they still have it.

I find this stat quite wild actually, in the sense that Ovechkin has been a consistent goal scorer over the course of his career, while Gretzky was cooked as a goal scorer for a good handful of years.

Also shows how insane Gretzky's early years were with the number of goals he was putting up.
Now 10 goals and only 1,249 assists back.
