Panthers 18th Anniversary Team
With your Florida Panthers turning 18 next season, I thought it would be cool to see how an All-Time Panthers team would look. Despite only three playoff appearances, the Panthers have had some pretty good talent come through (mostly out) of the system and team. So here it is, the 18th Anniversary Florida Panthers Team.
Forwards
Olli Jokinen, C (2000-2008)
567 Games, 188 Goals, 231 Assists, 419 Points (0.73 P/G)

Pavel Bure, RW (1998-2002)
223 Games, 152 Goals, 99 Assists, 251 Points (1.13 P/G)
Only Panther to win the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy (which he won twice), holds to record most goals and points in a season by a Panther. Third in goals scored.
Scott Mellanby, RW (1993-2001)
552 Games, 157 Goals, 197 Assists, 354 Points (0.64 P/G)

Defensemen will be another day. Feel free to name any forwards you think should be on the list in comments and try to go easy on me for putting Horton on the list.

Where is the great Bob Kudelski? Johan Garpenlov? Kirk Muller? Or my personal favorite, Igor Larionov? Not a bad list, but sad how weak the Panthers have been down the left side.
Can’t include Muller in there…

Why not? He played portions of three seasons down here and his numbers were about as illustrious as Larionov’s. Or maybe Dave Gagner?
I always had a mancrush on Steve Washburn. No idea why, but something about him just made me go sigh

I should not have said “can’t”. Was just not a Muller fan in any of his incarnations.
However, you might find this to be timely ;)

The money line:
(Coach Andy) Murray has been unwilling to scratch center Kirk Muller instead of Washburn. He likes Muller’s checking, leadership and work, but Muller had two goals before Wednesday’s game, hadn’t scored since Dec. 9 and was a minus-8.
