FLORIDA -- The new season is only a few days away. A new season brings a renewed hope for Panthers hockey. The Florida Panthers are still looking for their first playoff birth in the NsHL under IronMike.
The off-season was filled with a few simple additions to the team. But they were big names in more ways than one.
Considering the first addition: EVGENI MALKIN. A true Superstar in the making. Malkin can score, pass and make his teammates play better around him.
The next to arrive was Patrick Eaves. Number one on his sweater number one in our hearts. Okay ... so thats a little much. Fact is Eaves will be hard pressed to make this team. The Panthers are strong on the wing with Calder, Williams, Horton, Novoseltsev, Pandolfo and former Rookie of the Year Miettinen. But it got much more crowded when Malkin arrived and now might be the worst time for Eaves to attempt to crack this line-up.
The next addition to the team came via free agency. Very early into the free agency period the Panthers announced the signing of bruising defenseman Ed Jovanovski. With Strudwick, Majesky and Mezei on the blueline the Panthers tough defense just got much tougher with Jovocop added to the mix.
