Monty Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Panthers making the necessary changes to ensure they remain competitive. While they obviously had a good defensive defenseman in Gudbranson and an "ok", though aging Campbell, replacing them with Yandle and Demers, plus a full time Matheson will ensure they are no worse for wear.

Toews Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Took less to play in Florida. The Panthers defense now looks something like Yandle-Ekblad Petrovic-Demers Matheson-Pysyk Kampfer McCoshen probably starts in the AHL. That's not a bad looking group. Well done Florida.

Wilbur Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Heh, not sure why, but I'm just glad the Oilers didn't get a defenseman for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Lasso Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Sbisa trade value just increased. Next we need Russell to sign anywhere but Edmonton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerox Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 It is official, Edmonton has no defense. If we have some decent skaters,we can skate circles around Lucic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rough Neck Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 This is a good signing. Good price and a replacement for Gudbranson. While I like gudbranson better of course Florida made good work to have their backend relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

250Integra Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 So, Edmonton thinks bringing in Larsson will solve all their defensive woes? Is next year's projected #1 pick a defenseman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaSwede Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Don't worry guys, Edmonton will sign Roman Polak for toughness. Good move by the Panthers. I was wondering what they were planning on doing after giving up Gudbranson, Kulikov, and Campbell. It's a different look atleast and let's wait and see if they are a better group than this past season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Spector Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Demers is good, but they lose ALOT of sandpaper and leadership in Gudbranson. We"ll see if it was the right move or not. The good news is the Oilers never got him, so there defence is still weak. I had a feeling Demers wouldn't sign in Edmonton because they would have had to expose him in the expansion draft. Edmonton has to protect Sekers, Larsson and Klefbom, so any signing they make will either have to be waiver exempt or on a short term deal. In fact they STILL have to expose Reinhart, who they traded a 1st and 2nd for and is basically a #5 D for them. Just poor asset management by Chiarelli.
