Hey Luke old bud. Will give you my opinion when i got more time in my hands for a research and if all things are set and done. I still think the Panthers will add another top 6 guy.

So far i like the add but the health is scary scary stuff. He might be the 3rd best offensive player in this years FA class but well you know yourself a fart from a teammate and he might be done for the year.

Hey Key, was wondering if I could get some input on Shawn Matthias and Colby Robak? I know Dobber is still pretty high on Matthias, and being a power forward type he might have a longer road to production, but do you think he can get there? Especially with all the upper-end prospects on the way in Florida. Robak might have an easier route with really only Campbell and Kulikov in his way to run a PP.

Hey mate
for Matthias i´m on the exact opposite side of the medal than Dobber. IMO while he has progressed some his upside isn´t that high. He is too long in the organisation that others have surpassed them standingwise since he did next to nothing. He very often lacks effort for weeks to bring it for another few. If he doesn´t change that you are looking at a 3rd to 4th center for a career. He is too good to end up the NHL but he has no chance at a top 6 in Florida.

Robak is a diffrent case. The people love him but he also has the problem that Petrovic has looked way too good and Strachan had a good start in the NHL. Overall he will be in the NHL rather sooner than later. Hang on to him and you´ll get rewarded. The d-core is build to get fresh blood in and Robak is one of the prime choices.

best wishes
key

What a start to the season!!
5-1 Panthers and that without Goc and Steeger.

- Huberdeau is amazing, the best Panther since Bure
- Kovalev had an awesome night, he looks slow but his hands are still there
- Soupy on the PP!!
- Theo star of the night IMO
- Strachan looked real solid
- Kuba was by far the worst man on the ice
