Florida Panthers
No specific players come to mind when I mention the Florida Panthers, but they are an organization worth exploiting right now. The Panthers are playing awful hockey, while the organization is a complete mess. After removing Dale Tallon from the GM role, the Panthers promoted Tom Rowe to GM. Next, the Panthers moved Tom Rowe to Head Coach. After that, the Panthers fired Rowe from both positions, re-hiring Dale Tallon.
Got that?
If there’s any team that would make a deal due to sheer ineptitude and misunderstanding of their own assets, it’s the Florida Panthers. This is a team begging for a restart, but having zero clue how to do so. Perhaps they can be pitched on some veteran help like Nick Holden or even Marc Staal? Or maybe they would buy into the Jimmy Vesey hype and accept him as a headliner for one of their more valuable players?
Either way, the Florida Panthers are due to be on the wrong side of a big trade. New York should try to be that team on the right side.
