What I think they will do

Panthers decline. No incentive to trade him for nothing.

You could sign Domi and give up nothing for Bennett. Better offensive player and save assets.

Your assuming Domi signs with that dumpster fire. I see how they f***ed Bruce Boudreau I definitely take a pause or 2 before I think of signing there.


If I'm Washington or Florida I pass

Sure Bruce was sh***** but some of the new players have said they are happy to be there.

Max Domi isn't there and observed the way a pretty universally loved in the hockey world Bruce Boudreau was treated. Then look at the keeping Miller over Horvat ?? Looking from the outside it really looks like something I'd stay away from at least in the near future. It's nothing against the city I absolutely loved it when I visited. ( Of course I was there around late may early June time several decades ago). Maybe I'm completely wrong and he does, just right now unless I know Tochett, or the coaching staff, or really know a player or 2 well and feel comfortable it's not the dumpster fire it appears it would take overpaying.
