Not many teams can keep winning multiple cups in the cap era. Could see one more but wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t either.
Voted zero as that's the easy answer here in a salary cap era and I'd rather have no cap or a limited cap so dynasties could happen again...some of the time other times I really don't care.

That is normally correct, but Zito has positioned the Panthers to be a top team for the rest of the decade. Most of the core forwards are signed for all under $10 million per, money will come off the books soon, and Zito will have the cap space and draft picks to make the moves required to shore up the defense, and add whats necessary up front.

Zero. It took 7 to win last year and they're heading in the wrong direction.

Their core isn't going to get any better that it was the last 2 years as they age, and their younger players aren't good enough to make up the difference.

I like their chances to get at least one more. They seem much better poised to than my avs did following their cup run. That cup seems to have costed them their soul.

0. They don’t seem like a dynasty to me.
Why is that. Last three years they went from president's trophy winners to cup finalists to cup winners.

Tampa, Pittsburgh, Chicago, and LA all did it within the last 15 years. Doesn't seem that farfetched to me.

I don’t see a dynasty type of core. Virtually all their best players are in their late 20’s or 30’s. After another 2-3 years you have to start wondering if they decline. Are they so much better than the rest of the league right now? No, so I think they’ll be very good for another few years, and like most very good teams the odds won’t go their way as it did last season.

I didn’t mean to imply that two was far fetched. By “Keep winning multiple cups” I meant more than two. Only Chicago and Pittsburgh have done that and I wouldn’t even include Pittsburgh so much because the large gap between the first two was only possible because of how young their two superstars were during the first one. Florida’s core will age out over that many years. That’s why I said they could win one but I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t.

WTF are you even talking about? 2nd in the league, with 99% of their core locked up, all for $10 million and below per, and have the best management and coaching staff in the league. Yup, they are definitely heading in the wrong direction.

Their core is 23 to 29 years old. So now 29 is old :laugh: That would mean the Rangers are dust then huh? Good luck building anything close to resembling the Panthers team once Igor gets his $12 million a year x 8, at 29 years old.

Bitter post. I said nothing that most others didn't say.

You sound cocky now because your team just won, but the bounces don't go your way every year. Hockey is hard. Maybe you will be humbled when this year is up and understand that.
