With the signings of Upshall, Jovanovski, Fleischmann, Versteeg, and Theodore, the Panthers are making the case to be serious playoff contenders this year. Will they finally be able to gain relevance in South Florida? I'd enjoy seeing it.

No...they won't be relevant. Not even close.
Check out my short e-book on the Red Wings' 1937 Stanley Cup championship entitled: "Nothing Could Keep 'Em Down." Please download it from my profile at Smashwords: https://www.smashwor...ile/view/victor

I'd vote for "soon to be cash-strapped" over "relevant".

No.

Tootoo does NOT belong on this team. He is classless and I would rather see the Wings be bad than classless. I feel the same way about Bertuzzi as well, but he at least CAN make the team better. With Tootoo the team becomes worse and in danger of being classless. Would you have liked Claude on the team? Or Roy? No. So why would you be okay with that POS.

They're trying to get above the cap floor and are over paying above average players to inflated contracts. They're not trying to be a contender. They're a joke.

The sole purpose of their existence is to get above the cap floor. Hockey teams don't try to win, not this one at least!

Today was the attempt to try to not move from Miami in the next 2-3 years and get SOMETHING going in their tiny fan base. Even if they make the playoffs in the eight seed, they won't put up enough of a showing to succeed.

Ask the 90's Rangers who building from free agency went. Rarely ever works..a bunch of guys with no chemistry.

They remind me of when Tampa went free agent crazy a few years back. Looked like they were building an exciting team but it amounted to a bunch of overpaid players with little to no chemistry as a team.
Thanks TeeMan!
