I highly recommend to you guys to watch this episode of Spittin Chicklet, it is pretty awesome at dissecting what the Panthers just accomplished, pretty much we broke another team, the Oilers, they will have over 50 million tied up on 4 players alone and they need a marquee goalie, their break down and accolades are through the roof, we are the standard now.



Biz needs to pass the Dutchie if he thinks Ek is signing for $4M.

yeah, he is by a few millions, but the conversation was lot of fun. and also I love how they are finally embracing the Panthers, after the Oilers comeback after been down 0-3 and wining the game, they were very bullish on the Oilers, they are finally embracing the Panthers without caveats. full on admiration for the Panthers organization.

I hope Benny, Ekky, and Marchy sit down with Jones and Reinhart and they listen to their tales of playing for Buffalo and Chicago. It saves a milly each, easy.
I think there is a lot of that, like internal pressure from the players themselves, I appeals to me as they are loosing a friend not a team mate, that has to carry some emotional weight.

Yes everything has a price. Like if someone offered me a million … er make it a hundred bucks … to leave HFBoards and drop all you losers, I’d have to think about it.

Florida has the massive edge that it has to be by far the #1 for players wanting to go

The team is in it’s prime, zero anchors, all the other benefits. Zito can call and just say do you want to play here like nobody else can

The guess is Ehlers will get 8-9M from the market but I’d look at 7x7 type deal from Florida

Marchand ofcourse is awesome but he’s 38y next season and never had a payday yet. He’d have to be in the 5.5M range to keep the train running for multiple years
I would agree with this very much, we have become a destination for players that want to win now but there is a price of admission to this exclusive club, Marchand knows this and this could be a leverage, the next player to fill in if not Marchy, will consider himself very special, it is not far fetched to think that many elite players want to be here, in this moment. because we are super hot right now.
 
I would love to have a thread about this topic but in a different way, my question would be, "if the 3 of them stay, which contract would start to look bad after 2 years and possible become an anchor?"
I would start the thread but they do not let me.

I’ll say Ekblad is the highest chance of being an anchor in 2-3 years, and I don’t just mean the obvious heaviness.

Marchand on a 4 year contract won’t be an anchor because he’ll be good for 2 or 3, they’ll win 2 Cups, and then figure out what to do with him.

Bennett fo 8 years won’t start growing mold until year 5-6 IMO.
 
I love the idea of Ehlers on The Panthers if we do end up going that route, and get a decent price. He is one of my fav players in the league, so I have been thinking about this before.

Maybe it's copium, but I feel his playoff woes would be a thing of the past in Florida. He is blazing fast, forechecks hard and plays a straightforward game, should be a good fit in theory.

That’s the rational side but I’m now emotionally attached to Marchand who helped put away the Oilers and scored the 2OT winner with Drai on his tail. Priceless.

Web just got Bennet, if we get Marchand and Ekblad, we are getting another one for the rafters, we still empty spaces up there, Book it!
