We are now over a week into NHL free agency and three weeks into the Florida Panthers offseason which started when they beat the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final on June 17.

It has been a fairly substantial offseason for the Panthers even though they did not make a traditional splash when free agency opened last Tuesday at noon.

Thatโ€™s because all of their heavy lifting was already done.

We have some thoughts on what Bill Zito & Co. have done thus far in yet another short offseason in South Florida.

Hey, training camp is just over two months away.
