Friday Florida Panthers Offseason Caterwaul

ESPN’s Burning questions for all 32 NHL teams this preseason article had this to say about the Florida Panthers. It was strange to see the Panthers outside the playoff mix last season — but perhaps it was inevitable they’d slide down the standings following multiple championship runs (and minus captain Aleksander Barkov for the season). But this isn’t the same team it was in 2025-26. The Panthers broke the internet — again — trading for Brady Tkachuk to enhance a ...

Oilers Eye Return to A-Game with New Respect for Process

EDMONTON — So you had a bad day. Or in the Edmonton Oilers’ case, a bad season. So what? It happens to the best of ‘em.

So the question becomes: Was it really a one-off? Or was it a genuine drop-off? Nobody is doubting that the Florida Panthers can bounce back after a season in which they finished 14th in the East and 25th...

Along with questions about the team’s legitimacy moving forward, many are wondering who could step in and wear the ‘C’.
