Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted July 2, 2011 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. 1 Aussie_Wing reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest echos myron Report post Posted July 2, 2011 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AARedWingFan 13 Report post Posted July 2, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckbags 863 Report post Posted July 2, 2011 Ask the 90's Rangers who building from free agency went. Rarely ever works..a bunch of guys with no chemistry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crotty99 302 Report post Posted July 2, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
