Thursday Caterwaul: Panthers pre-ASG Fantasy Draft Open Forum

In three previous NHL All-Star Game appearances – twice as a starter – representing Buffalo (2007, ’08) and Chicago (2009), defenseman Brian Campbell has 1 goal, 3 assists, 3 SOG & 1 GW assist (all scoring in last two games). Will it make a difference onstage tonight?

Why last night rocked:

  • Wings haters will have a field day with 7-2 Detroit loss at Montreal/

Why last night jonesed:

  • Habs haters – or anyone with a non-Canadiens horse in Eastern Conference playoff slotting – are not amused/

Panthers Playoff Update:

Why tonight is a Big Deal in SoFla:

  • Soupy makes his NHL All-Star Fantasy Draft debut this evening (NBC-SN, 8 p.m.); LBC will be live with chat action at 7:30. Full list of players here./

Next up for the Cats:

  • February 1st, in one of those typically meaningless division games vs Washington/

Did you know:

  • Florida had no representation in last year’s Fantasy Draft. Silly…of course you knew that. There was someone in a Screamin’ Cat uni present for one portion of the weekend’s festivities: the newly-christened Pride of Charlotte.
  • AP recently released their updated Stanley Cup odds for those who care./

Wednesday’s NHL Waiver Wire

Placed on waivers:

Where will Florida’s Campbell be “drafted” tonight?

Rounds 1 through 5 6
Rounds 6 through 10 28
Rounds 11 through 15 4
