Tkachuk traded to Florida

[M4k4]

Points ain't everything. Tkachuk is a complete player that has a better 200-foot game and plays a way tougher/grittier style than Huberdeau. Something this team has been lacking from their star players. I and many others have said just that.

Tkachuk finally brings an element of tenacity and grit that this team desperately needs in the playoffs. He's going to be a fan favorite almost immediately and we'll all soon forget about Huberdeau in no time.

Exactly. So excited!

I got a weird feeling Klingberg is joining this team.

I'd love to have him but how the hell do they afford him at this point.

They're now actually further away from being under the cap at just over $4 million above it.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

nvm they're over the cap lol

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

That D needs work imo, hopefully Zito has been working on another deal.

Weegs likely looking for Nurse/Jones money after getting Norris votes.

Losing Weegar hurts and I think Zito just determined that it doesn't make sense to have Ekblad and Weegar in the roster when both will be on huge contracts. Some other dman needs to step up and play ~25min at times, or divi up Weegar's TOI evenly with the remaining dmen.

Fresh off my playoff ban to celebrate this huge day with my fellow cats fans. Zito has recognized there was a lack of grit and addressed it by replacing a soft player with a tough one. I second the poster that said this is giving me a reason to be excited about the panthers again.

Tkachuk isn't known for being much of a postseason performer either..

Brass thinks MT is a top 5 player in the league over the next 5 years. Could Huby and his exotic car collection be that? Sure, but the people signing the checks wanted 11 out and have for a while.

This is the most crucial part. Marchment was getting Selke-votes because he was scoring goals and stripping off pucks from the opponents by either stickchecking or laying down big hits. We need that element.

I think Zito has a plan here. Not sure what it is but man he’s an entertaining GM at the very minimum.

My biggest concern is now Bennett.

I feel like he relied heavily on Huby.

Maybe Tkachuk Bennett Verhaeghe/Reino

 

[Dr Beinfest]

Draft picks? Who needs them?

Ok if this was huby and weegs for Tkachuck I’d be like swell, sad but swell.

But yeah unnecessary to pay them on top of that.

In a vacuum, Bennett is a 3C. Lundell is the future 2C regardless of what happens with Bennett. Benny is a good player but nothing to cry over.

 

[behemolari]

Tkachuck for Laine trade incoming?

 

[Laus723]

Is Weegar still playing?

No it’s summer

 

[VijayPatel11]

Move Hornqvist and sign Klingberg

No cap space

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Panthers could carry 7 d and only 12 forwards (500k under the cap) but teams don't like not having a 13th forward, I'm expecting another trade. @InTheBiz please confirm

 

[Chaos2k7]

Shocked... there must be more to this story, but also excited for Tkachuk

 

[Mk613]

Barkov on the move next maybe?!

 

[FinlandPanther]

Weegar and Huby were definitely at the strip club.

Username change incoming?

Has to be Hornqvist, right???

[Mk613]

[Gentle Man]

Friendly reminder.

We have Tkachuk for 9 years


Edit: only 8. He was indeed an RFA

 

[Mk613]

You shut your disgusting little mouth!

Hey you never know

Can we revert back to the original jerseys now or at least a tweaked version of them
