Florida Panthers

[keytolife]

KeytoLife - Much love for being the voice of the Panthers!

I own two Panthers - Huberdeau and Campbell.

I'm worried about both of them -

I own a BUNCH of prospects - Hubs, Galchenyuk, Yakupov, Granlund, MacKinnon, Tarasenko - and I am getting to the point where I need to "shit or get off the pot" on some of them. Where is Hubs on Florida/Tallon/Gallant's radar, and is he progressing or regressing?

Campbell was my best defenceman two years ago - is he going to recover, as Florida recovers? Or is he just on the decline as a player and it is unrelated to Florida's woes last year?

Hey mate,

thanks for supporting this thread.

Soupy was actually the best player last season besides maybe Bjugstad his lack of Points came from the overall not existing offense. He is regressing but it is slowly, he is still 1st Pairing D and will be for the entire season. With the most certainly somewhat rising Overall production i would keep my horses in the stable and keep him unless a good offer comes along.

Huby on the other hand is one scary guy. Everyone and their mother on this board wants me to believe that he is a future superstar. I do not see it, i see a incredibly lazy kid that is in more than a sophomore slump and isn´t caring too much. He is a floater and that is something i dislike a lot. What i see as a positive for the guy that he got his old coach back in Gallant that might be able to get some fire under his ass. I hold my fingers crossed, but i warned you that he might not be what he is made up arround here.

Thanks for this!

Is Huberdeau the real deal or just a player who peeked in junior??

[keytolife]

First preseason game:

Losers of the game: Shore,Robak,Petrovic, Olsen,Ellis, Huberdeau ( he looked scary bad, even worse than last season)
Winners of the game: Kulikov, Pirri, Howden, Trochek, Houser,Weegar!!!!

Awesome to hear weegar looked good out there, with almost twenty min TOI that's good to hear.

they've got quite the stable of young guys upcoming with Bjugstad, Pirri, Trocheck and Howden

good things come to those who wait!

Keep an eye on Juho Lammikko. He had a very good camp and started his season with 3 pts and 1st star for Kingston. Might be the last time he can be had supercheap arround the deeper leagues.

Sounds like Pirri had a good game the other night, from the tweets I read, and he scored a goal, was he playing sheltered starts or was he being used in different situations, he started a lot in the other teams end last year.

I was very tempted to pick him for my team this year, i actually had to drop him from my keepers due to running out of roster space, but I ran out of picks.

Yep two games vs. Nashville were brutal. Only guy that stood out was Pirri. Everything else was ugly. Robak is about to be dealt as far as i am hearing.

Any improvement for Huberdeau?

Any improvement for Huberdeau?

Same same. If it weren´t for his name and draft position and only training camp he would be cut worthy.

Another game another loss vs. Dallas. Standouts:Petrovic, Howden, Grimaldi, Pirri
Sucked the most: Flash ( early season trade incoming), Olsen ( kiss your chance goodbye ...)

[HockeyHobo]

I am so hoping Pirri can carry this form over to the regular season.

This is not a good news for the Panthers. Let's hope he will find his rhythm. Thanks!

Screw you Gallant! Pirri scratched Hayes scratched. Boyes and Jusis swap places and Flash plays on line two.

Perfect start of the season by pissing of your fans. Scratch your best goal scorer for freaking Kopecky.

Safe to assume Boyes gets prime minutes and top PP? Looking to add one last guy off the wire

What's left in the tank? 25-25-50?

I would shy away from any wingers in Florida untill the season has settled in. Nothing set in stone besides Huberdeau playing in the top 6 and probably Jussi. Boyes looked good last year but we might even roll 3 even lines so one never knows. Same goes for PP.
