So yes Florida fans, you will likely have to trade for Panarin and yes, it will be for something you dont want to give up.
Tallon and the rest of the brass won't be overpaying especially how the Hoffman-trade went through and Panarin stating that he won't be discussing about contract extensions before 1st of July. Besides, defense is the most concerning part of this team atm and only after that Panarin or whoever big time scorer on the FA comes next. If there's going to a be a trade then Kekalainen has to get nervous and make a trade in order to retain some value before Panarin hits the FA. But the odds of that happening is pretty low. Tallon is in love with the guys he has drafted so he puts a lot of value on the prospect pool so he won't be trading those guys for a pending UFA.
