Series Talk: SCFs Discussion - 2024 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS

[KW]

No shot you are 300 years old

That’s better … but I was hoping for something more epic

Man, I am going to be sad when some idiot team offers Bennett 7Mx7Y in next year's free agency. He is awesome

It will be interesting to see what Zito prioritizes. Sam is an identity player who is also a top 6 guy - those are very hard to find. We could offer him something like 5.5M x 8 and he would probably stay. But the term could come back and bite us since he's injured quite a lot. Then there's the Lundell situation which make Sam somewhat of a luxury. He's such a unique player though, Zito has a tough call to make.

Definitely a tough situation even if Bennett is willing to sacrifice AAV for term.
I feel like if he signs for 5.5mil it's worth it. If Lundell finally grows to be a legit #2 center, Bennett still has value and can run the 3rd line and be a key depth guy in the playoffs.
Long term it may suck, but I'm content with the Panthers on legacy contracts in 5 years after this run we've had. Especially since this chapter isn't quite over yet.

No why, Zito, why did you trade for Bennett. He sucks!

Now

Shit man we can't lose this guy. He is huge for us


Bonus

Bennett has only been a Panther for 3 years?!

Yeah and having great center depth seems essential. For me Lundell still has to show he can produce like a 2C, one playoff run isn't big enough sample. Although it seems that he got paid with the idea that it's his role soon enough.

Ekblad is always ready for another playoff run

Gotta share this. Man did Barky put on a clinic against the Rangers what a beast all over the ice. If he just had a little more killer instinct when shooting the puck...
If there is one thing I am pissed about in these POs is MacD winning the Conn Smythe over Barky and Bob



Edit: gotta add this. What a captain and all around player. So happy we get many more years of this

Me too. Still very bitter. Canadian media robbed us.

Holy shit how?

Barkov and Lundell with identical poses. The hive-like mind connection is going well I see.

He's teleporting, I'm convinced of it.

 

[BeezKnees]

Is Barkov actually 6'3"? By comparison, he seems almost as tall as Mikkola here (6'5) and a little taller than Luosty (6'3"). Lundell is supposed to be 6'1.

Granted, shoes/ positioning/ posture could be misleading.

Days have been busy in Japan so haven’t snapped too many pics of me with my champs gear that I packed but I tried to get at least a couple. Had to represent the champions…that’ll never get old to say

Edit: oh, and I got engaged here last night. Forgot to mention that part 2024 has been the greatest year of my life (so far). Panthers somehow winning a Stanley cup, we bought our house, finally visited Japan for the first time, got engaged. It’ll be hard to beat that

The day you meet me will be better than anything you went through this year.
