It's a good question and I think a lot hinges on Q and the system/style he's going to want to run and have the guys execute...

Trocheck is a great player/spark for this team and a fan favorite.

I think you're referring to Borgstrom. That's an interesting one because his game reminds me a lot of Teravinen's (when on the Hawks) and TT struggled under Q's scheme - even though his time in Chicago was doomed from the start because of the front office/marketing team (I elaborated on some of this in a previous blog). But this is a guy I'm really curious as to whether Q sees him as part of the plan or not.

Matheson is another guy I'm really curious about with Q now in town. He was some incredible skating ability and is the new-age style defenseman (who tend to want to be more of a forward), and has some pretty serious turnover issues. I'm wondering if Q sees him as fitting his system and willing to take put in the work/mold him. Q tends to not be in favor of puck-moving guys and I think the Panthers have too many on the blueline with this mentality.

Tippet probably makes sense packaged with one of those two guys if you're getting back a legit blueliner like Trouba coming off the season he put together; but I really don't know what they look for, etc., when it comes to trades. I can only speculate as a fan. Haha.

thank you, interesting takes for Sure and you are right about Q, he will have his opinions and coming form the central division, he's seen a ton of Trouba so who knows what he thinks about him as well

Great point

Would any of these be fair; or do you see as too much?

The Jets want a # 1 center/forward or a solid young #2 center with a #1 pick for Trouba. Detroit, NYR, Philly, Edmonton and the Leafs would all want to get a top pairing RHD like Trouba so the offer has to knock Chevy's socks off.

Trocheck could be that 2C and Borgstrom could possibly slot in - but I think time will tell as he develops and probably dependent on the system (just my opinion), how
the Panthers brass sells him and, most importantly, how an interested team sees him fitting in.

BTW...I think this is the first time a Panthers blog has mad it to the second page of comments since I started writing. Haha. Awesome!

Thanks, guys

Its refreshing to comment with knowledgeable fans that don't think any post about their team or their players is crazy. You don't over estimating your players worth or reply with stupid insults to any proposals or comments. Good Panther/hockey fans here. Glad you got Quenneville.
