Litter Box Cats, a Florida Panthers community

General Manager Dale Tallon has proclaimed repeatedly that he doesn't want to build a playoff team in Florida, he wants to build a Stanley Cup Champion. But what kind of roster makes this dream...

The Panthers' defensive units had a surprisingly prosperous year in '10-11 and is likely not in danger of wholesale changes; can it compete at a higher level?

It takes much more than one superstar to be a Stanley Cup Champion; this offseason, the Cats will have to construct 3 solid lines to lead the team to the playoffs

Search is on for an AHL affiliate for the Cats; does hiring of Dineen push scale toward Portland?

Tyler Plante and Marc Cheverie have never played in an NHL game but both have a future with the Florida Panthers. Heavily dependent on what happens with Tomas Vokoun this summer, these two prospects could move up the organizational depth chart this fall.

Despite a season of ups and downs cut short by a knee injury, prospect Jacob Markstrom is still very much the future of the Florida Panthers. Markstrom, however, should not have his development rushed by throwing him into the NHL fray too soon.
