I'm here to apologize to Habs fans for mocking them and insisting they wouldn't get a 1st rounder for Chairot. They did very well here.
But didn't Columbus come in at the 8th seed? And to their credit they did upset Tampa in the first round. Florida is a legit top-5 team. No reason for them not to go for it.I see Florida is taking the "Columbus 2019" approach.
How often has a team gone "all in" and came close to winning the Cup when they've basically had zero recent playoff success?

It's very rare for a team that didn't have recent playoff success to win the Cup out of nowhere. The playoffs are different and it takes experience in them to learn how to win playoff series. The odds are the Panthers won't win the Cup this year and then going forward they've made it harder to trade for what they need in the future.
Overplayed in the sens of i would like to see a better defenseman at 23 minutes. I looked at the games, I just desagree
It is rare for any team to with the cup. Chances are the best teams this season happen to include a lot of the best teams last season. That doesn't mean that a top-5 team that wasn't among top contenders last year doesn't have a shot at it this year.It's very rare for a team that didn't have recent playoff success to win the Cup out of nowhere.

Blues
I didnt do the research if they moved the exact 4th they acquired but either way they traded a 4th.Vatrano returned a 2022 4th. So no, its not Vatrano + 2022 4th in addition to Smilanic and 1st. Vatrano is a healthy scratch when the Panthers have a full lineup.
anything is possible but I wouldnt expect much. even with key injuries FLA is good enough to get byextreme long shot for sure but any team is a few injuries away from having a season go south. Lottery maybe not but late teens or early 20s instead of late 1st rounder is for sure possible.

No sorry, i do not want either Muzzin or McDonagh. Not all the 4d, but at least one offensive D in the top 4 would be nice. We'll see what happenYou just don't like him but he's earned that 20-23 min per game by actually playing. You need to look a little more without some pre determined outcome. I'm assuming you think top 4D should be more offensive which is the real flaw that many fans have.
Go target guys like Macdonagh and Muzzin who you probably feel are more "popular" and you probably ignore the stuff you are trying to push onto Chiarot. Reality
It's pretty rough going forward. Any hope of resigning Chiarot starts with getting Hörnqvist off the books. If that doesn't work out, there's no way we can fit him in.Maybe he resigns with Fla, but i don't know their cap situation

Florida traded for Chiarot but paid Weber's price.
Where are you getting your odds, and what are the exact odds? Since Zito took over, this isn’t the Panthers everyone knows and hates. This team is legit. Every single commentator for the NHL said the Panthers/Tampa series was the best last season, and we were the toughest team for Tampa. We then added Montour,Reinhart, Bennett, lindbolm (he looks good so far) and now Chairot (possibly Giroux) We’ve gotten even tougher, more scoring ability, better D, and our goaltenders have improved. You’re correct about our playoff past, but I think you’re totally wrong about our Cup chances. I can see a Panthers/Avs Cup final.It's very rare for a team that didn't have recent playoff success to win the Cup out of nowhere.

Getting Petry for a 2nd must count, but that was in 2015 as I recall.
41 pages for a legendary Eklund trade is disappointing. Should be 82 pages by now.
