The Panthers finished with a team total of -40.9 GVS, with only ten players outplaying their cap hit to seventeen underplaying. Huge kudos to the front office for not overpaying on goaltending, as both Jose Theodore and Scott Clemmensen outplayed their bargain contracts. Clemmer got a huge boost from his Quality Start percentage at 64.0%, which was in the top ten in the NHL (higher than Vezina Candidate Pekka Rinne of Nashville).
