GR….great work …much appreciated by all us Cat fans….now, .hypothetical question : Panthers win the Cup….of course in normal circumstances, Q ( if he left for health reasons, for example ) gets his name on the Cup…..but …in this case ….yes or no? PC aside….I believe he would be most deserving ….your thoughts? Thank you and keep up the good word!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Deadline! Is there anyone that you think the Panthers have to have? With the team so close to the cap, I would prefer them to keep the team together. If anything I would prefer a tough guy to help protect Barkov, Hubby, Ekblad, etc from being run at during playoffs.
Hello! I think the Panthers need a sniper with Barkov, someone like Laine. Is Laine a possibility? Do you think Zito is going for a Rental ? Thanks
Any discussions about an extension for Marchment and the priority on getting an extension done before the off-season? I feel like he is a huge asset and has capabilities to play up and down the lineup.
Hi GR! Thanks for everything you do for the Panthers! What exactly happened to Nutivaara that he’s been injured the whole season? He played in one game this season, so can’t imagine this is all a result of anything that happened in game. I assume they’re going to let him walk after the season since he’s barely played to show his value to the team in the future.
George, it is near universally known the Cats have a great locker room this season. Can you give some examples (name them names, man!) of players who did not contribute to a healthy locker room/team dynamic in the past?
Hi George, if the Panthers do make it the finals and win, would Frank be included on the cup?
George, I need to call out the Panther fans that are the most active on Twitter/social media. They know who they are. They think they are experts. It’s nothing but praise for GM Bill Zito, up until a trade they don’t like, and then it’s “Zito is overpaying – what is he doing?” Too much time reading analytics “experts” that don’t do anything but criticize hockey players from their couches. This happened last year with the Bennett trade, but anybody who had actually watched Calgary in the playoffs knew his game was built for the playoffs. Was Calgary’s best player… Read more »
Hi George From the outside it seems the Panthers are a very tight group. Is there any concern that by making these trades the team chemistry is altered? I like the aggressive nature of the moves but it’s not like the Panthers were barely in the playoffs and how much did they really need to improve to be competitive?
Hi George — love the news letter — with all the talent offensively the cats have — I thought the Ben C trade was awesome with a big bruising defenseman as a trade !!! Do you really think the Cats need someone like Giroux to come in ~. Just seems whoever they give up is going to be too much for a guy at the tail end of his career. They got Jumbo and Horny to have the experience factor not be overlooked. Just seems like this might be a questionable trade to value ??? Your thoughts???? All the best… Read more »
What in the world does “six-strength defenseman” mean?
