Am I the only one thinking Bergfors isnt going to be here next year? Dont get me wrong, I would love to see what he can do with linemates not named Darcy
I think there are going to be surprises we’re not even thinking of. We can’t just fill the roster in with these guys – we just can’t spend enough money otherwise. To me, Skille isn’t going anywhere – if only because he’s a Tallon draft pick. I would think Bergfors would get a season to prove himself too – but we’re starting to run out of positions. You’ve got to think there’s 6 forward spots up for next year with two young defenseman and one goalie. And $30 million that has to be spent – that’s nine guys and $30 million – or the equivalent of paying everyone they sign the equivalent of Stephen Weiss. That’s frightening.
Which they won’t be. Hopefully they’ll make the right UFA choices and spend wisely there as well.
Florida Panthers. Good Hockey, Great Advertising!
Oh I hope they spend wisely too, but the fact remains they must reach the salary cap floor – and I just don’t see how they can do that and simply resign guys to RFA deals. They’re not going to give Skille or Bergfors a contract much more than Reasoner or Dvorak made this year. Someone’s going to make some bank – and the only guy on the roster who deserves it is Weiss.
i think Tallon's going to be a salary dump
I’m sure there are “overpaid” players on other teams that can be had for a song due to the weight of their contracts. If Tallon needs to spend to the floor, he could always go that route. Can’t think of any examples right now (I’m taking a break from hockey for a bit), but I’m sure they’re out there.
Hockeysfuture top 50 prospects
Gudbranson and Markstrom in the top 20

Bjugstad and Shore in the top 50

Top 10 to be released soon.
I was really surprised to see Shore there, higher than Bjugstad no doubt— not because he doesn’t deserve it, I just didn’t think he’d get the credit. I’d put a little bit higher but I don’t have a good handle on some of these prospects to know for sure.
I was very surprised to see Gudbranson go up a spot, but they said he had a great WJHC, so I’ll take that ranking with a grain of salt.
Markstrom fell considerably from 2 to 11, and it’s no shocker— but besides that, I was really pleased with the way things shook up for the Cats on HF— I thought that Howden might make it but oh well.
I’m really scratching my head with the top 10— Tarasenko, OEL, Schenn, maybe Kouznetsov/Orlov? I wonder if Reimer will qualify, Granlund, Johansen, Connolly, Niederreiter. There’s certainly going to be 1-2 surprise picks and I bet that Schenn ends up getting number 1.

Glad to know I’m not the only fan of Ryan. ;) Seriously the guy works his socks off to get right impression and contract for next year.
Spazm you are not alone, I want him to make the team next season. I’m bummed that I won’t make the last game (I’m matchmaking the fights for a charity event this weekend www.fleoachapert14.org) to bid on his jersey. If I won the Jersey at least I would be certain to get it autographed for 2011-2012 season :-) Unlike the autograph stalker video on LBC, seems I am never in the right place for that!

I was impressed by Carter immensely in the two games I saw
Best thing I saw was during the Pittsburgh game when he dived to keep the puck in play during a dump in, an otherwise harmless unsubstantial play but since he sacrificed himself to keep the puck in the zone it created a really good scoring chance.
I never see players do that.
