The league has said that they don't want draft pick compensation for coaches and gm's to hinder a teams ability to make offer sheets so we could lose our 2nd the year after if need be

So it seems FLA didn't view Pysyk as a top 4 either. Interesting

Florida had a heck of an offseason. Yandle, demers, Reimer. There defense will be very good

Big problem with Vesay is if he decides to string is along until the end of August we are basically F'd of we are looking to add another winger. The market will have dried up and GM's will command a premium via trade.
We should set a realistic sign by deadline for him

So Panthers traded for Pysyk and made a big deal about him being their future top four then sign another right shot D to a five year deal???

Yandle Ekblad
Matheson Demers
Kindl Pysyk
Petrovic

That's a really good top six but Petrovic has good numbers as well... Kind of a strange move..

- Gunnerk3

Will it?

Ekblad is great.

Yandle under achieved.

Demers was okay middle 2nd pair guy.

Pysyk was soft and moved.

Kindl isn't good.

Caps and Penguins are very good.

Florida and TB are probably two of the best looking teams in the East after that.

Healthy Price and Lundqvist probably put Mon and NYR in the chase.

Add in NYI who returns a heavy lineup.

So Buf battles with Detroit and Philly for 8th seed or better?

I like our chances more this year than last

That DuPont dude that works for the Boston Globe. He is the same dude that has been saying this stuff all week that Vesey still wants to go to Boston and he will never sign with Buffalo or anyone else.

I honestly don't believe him.

There's nothing to explore, no extra money to be gained. If he doesn't sign this week, we better have a LW back-up plan.
