No no no, their issue is lack of scoring, lol

The entire Eastern Conference except for Boston and the Rangers is just getting dummied at the moment. Not sure what to make of this.

I just saw that. Dallas was up 2-1 with like 6 minutes to play in the third. Score is now 3-2 Yotes with 4:30 to play.
And now it's 3-3. Like 5 breakaways in 2 minutes.

Levi never passed the watch test, meaning every time i watched him play he just looked so tiny and beatable....all it took was NHL scouts figuring out how easy he was to best high and wide and ....you get 7th round goalie.

Weekes was talking up the Panthers fit on NHL Network a couple days ago.
Rodrigues - Barkov- Reinhart
Verhaeghe - Bennett - Tkachuk
Luostarinen - Lundell - Kane
Lomberg - Stenlund - Cousins
Forsling - Ekblad
Ekman Larsson- Montour
Mikkola - Kulikov
Pretty Good!

in case folks missed the first intermission, they reported that zito's big pitch to Kane was that he's the only guy good enough to play at Barkov's level. I believe if he lands here, he will start on the top line. there was also talk about a long-term deal.

Does Zito know that the salary cap is a real thing?

I'm on the fence about bringing Kane in.
On the one hand, we have exactly zero one-timer threats on the PP (Swaggy is about as close as we get to that). Kane would instantly make the PP much more lethal. He's also got a shoot-first mentality which is exactly what Mo wants.
On the other hand, he's not a speedy guy, and his attention to detail on defense is below average. I'm puzzled to see how he's a fit 5v5 with the Panthers style outside of his shot.

Heck, if you want a one-timer on the powerplay, get Hoffman back. He's lethal.

Situation in which I am OK with them bringing in Kane: He signs for 1 year at the league minimum.
That's it. That's the situation.

$1mil + $3mil in bonuses (like plays at least 10 games) which carry over to the cap structure of the next season.

It pretty much has to be something like that. For me it's more about the locker room stuff, Zito better be 100% sure this guy isn't a cancer.

Don’t even want that since it cuts into our cap for re-signing our own guys

I am sure he would fit in ala Giroux, but is he really needed?
I could envision Luo, Lundy and Rodrigues as the 3rd line with Cousins to the 4th line in that scenario.

If he can still play then the added depth is always good. And to me Rodriguez isn't a top line player, I know he has played well and I like him but think he would help tremendously Lundell and Luostarinen with his speed. Plus there are always injuries.
If he can play and isn't a detriment to the room and takes league minimum then sure, sign him. A lot of ifs though. Zito better be on top off his game.

if the third line was Rodrigues - Lundell - Luostarinen, they would never score a goal

Lundell definitely has the shot to do it but now it's him and Luostarinen just skating in circles along the boards. Nobody is getting open.

He's even worse defensively than Kane is. And likely a bigger cap hit at $4.5MM than Kane would sign for.

They tried it yesterday halfway through the 2nd period. I wasn't blown away, but I also liked Rodrigues with Barkov and Reinhart.

Fly high Red...fly high.
Gonna be a consistent 25ish goal guy.
Good to see him back to his scoring ways after a slow start.
4 goals in his last 2.3 games.

Zito definitely sold high on his brilliant world junior and college experience.
