The Florida Panthers may have shored up the goaltending position for the next decade of so with last night’s first round selection of Spencer Knight. Dale Tallon is armed with a whopping eight picks today, so the Cats could move up the draft board if needed or trade off assets for established players or prospects. Whatever the case, it should be a very interesting day in Vancouver. Florida’s first pick today will come later in the second round (52nd overall).
