Does Florida have the best offence in the modern day era?

[Montreal Shadow]

One of the best of the cap era maybe, for modern I don't see any group beating the 02 Wings

Shanahan - Fedorov - Yzerman
Robitaille - Larionov - Holmstrom
Maltby - Draper - McCarty
Devereaux - Datsyuk - Hull

You know a team is loaded when Datsyuk/Hull were on the 4th line lol

I assume "modern era" means post-lockout.

 

[Fataldogg]

One of the deepest. Not the best.

Hawks had at least two teams better offensively at forward than this.

I’m interested to see what post double knee surgery Barkov looks like next year as well. People are seemingly assuming he will be the same as 2024-25. Seems presumptuous.

I've only ever heard that referred to as "cap era", I interpreted modern era as this century

I’ve seen modern era used but it’s usually to describe the NHL post WHA NHL merger - so 1979 on.

Even cap era though I'm with you on the Hawks especially 2010 people forget how nails that Ladd/Bolland/Versteeg line was

2016 Pens as well even if they have the Crosby/Malkin cheat code

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Maybe next to the first Chicago Cup teams.
But yes Florida is stacked and looks ready for another deep run.

 

[Hockeyholic]

2007 Ducks, 2008 Wings, 2010 Hawks, 2013 Hawks, 2016 Pens immediately come to mind.

Was actually 47 years ago today that most people consider the beginning of the modern age.

 

[JFedol]

Edmonton? Tampa? Colorado? lol?

 

[amnesiac]

on paper? Id have to say yes.

who else compares since 05-06?

post the lines

 

[Leafshater67]

For next season? I don't know off hand - Colorado had the best offense this season. Maybe them, maybe someone else.

My point is - Florida was ranked 18th last season in goals scored. I know Barkov was out, but the previous seasons with Barkov they were ranked 15th, 11th and 6th. Nowhere near #1.

Let's wait and see how they actually perform before we annoint them the greatest offense of the modern era?

I think they have the best forward depth and I’m not even really sure it’s close right now. Not of the whole generation but I believe now, absolutely

 

[CupsOverCash]

Top 9 on paper is very good.

 

[JFedol]

post the lines

Bro, you know the lines lol.

the star [pwer in isntact nd they've clelcrtively all been top5 teamd in golas for for like 3-5 years now respctfulyl.

Edmonton Colorado

-McDavid-
-Draisaitl-


Tampa

-Point-Kucherov
- Guentzel

 

[TheRumble]

Did everyone here forget the 21-22 Panthers? They scored 350 goals in an NHL season. That's literally the best offensive season the league has seen since the 1995-96 Penguins.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Depth wise they're one of the best. They're lacking a true elite offensive forward outside of Matthew though. Barkov and Matthew are also basically guaranteed to miss 10-20 games each as well. With them aging you have to wonder if their games start being affected.


They'll be a tough team to play against, not sure they'll fill the net that much though.

Yeah lmao
