I was literally just going to joke about brining driedger in as the backup. That was quick haha

 

[Thewselius]

Benning looked good in the preseason games. Seemed to move the puck well and fought well in the corners despite size.

Seattle flopped on their expansion pick for us. Makes up for the Vegas debacle (okay maybe not)

TRADE KNIGHT FOR A DMAN

Play Bob 82

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

If Driedger beats out Knight for the backup job next year you have to trade him. Can’t have that kind of money sitting in the AHL sadly

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Wow that's a damning quote from Zito on Knight, if he's not backing up next season, they need to look to trade him.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Barely a week after winning the cup and back to panic mode. Love you f***ers

ANOTHER FORWARD WTF

Hol' up. We need to wait a bit more so that every other team has their roster set for the next season and only then Zito should pick up the phone. It's freaking genius!!

 

[floridada]

Zito might still be lost in the sauce from yesterday and his kids took his phone.

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

I’m willing to bet Knight starts as the backup and if he doesn’t look like the future then he’s moved and Driedger takes his spot.

I dunno Driedger was pretty rough in Seattle. Can’t imagine he isn’t in the AHL to start

 

[Chaos2k7]

Dang so Knight goes back to Charlotte?

Might be better off starting another year down there, but at least he comes to camp knowing the backup job isn't sewn up.

 

[Gentle Man]

I think the quote is more about knight being on the market.


We f***ing need a dman so bad. But which team even has one that needs a G?

Quote?

 

[Panthers Propaganda]

Spencer Knight is 23 guys, goalies can take time... unfortunate salary situation though.

Won't be hard to beat of Driedger though tbh.

 

[ShootIt]

Trade for Gudbranson and start the dynasty

Quote?

Although GM Bill Zito said he has "confidence "in Spencer Knight, he didn't commit to him being the backup next season. Called it a "fluid situation"

Driedger was terrible, injured, AHLer respectively his 3 seasons in Seattle, if you can't commit Knight to the backup job over him, I don't interpret that as a good sign for where he's at.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

"Be patient. Zito will find us cheap RD to play in the top4..."

Doesn't sign anyone.

"This is why we picked up Bjornfot. That was the plan all along. Can't be paying top4 dough for a top4 dman in situation where the Panthers find themselves in. They gotta proceed with a shoestring budget..."

Looks like Driedger saw an up swing in the AHL.

He did have a serious injury at the world's right
