What pieces will the new Florida Panthers GM have to work with?

When Dale Tallon was hired as general manager of the Florida Panthers in 2010, there was not much to work with.

His replacement will find some essentials in the cupboard.

There are pieces to work with — both on the NHL level and within the system — for whomever is hired to be the team’s next general manager.

The new GM likely has to make some difficult decisions to make from free agents coming and (more likely) going as well as riding themselves of some unsightly contracts.
