This team is 1 injury way from not being good at all. Even now , I don’t think they’re a lock for a division spot. They’re in that playoff bubble range

That's I'm thinking, but some's players like Duclair, Reinhart and Bennett haved their best carrer season, but I don't think they will do it again.

Also, I don't think having Tkachuk will help them, especially because he is not really a great leader.

Huberdeau was carrying Bennett and Duclair. They will def regress.

Eh I still think Panthers make playoffs but definitely not as President's Trophy winners. There's still really good pieces on this team. Barkov and Ekblad are amazing core players and there's solid depth at every position except LD IMO. Bob's save percentage has risen every year in Florida and Knight will probably take another step forward. Plus I'm assuming the mentality of this team is hungry after underperforming in the postseason. Every division is going to be fun to watch

No Marchment, Huberdeau, Weegar Duclair is going to miss at least half the season with a torn achilles. Tkachuk can only do so much.

You don't even have Duclair in the lineup he's going to miss at least half the season with a torn achilles.

That LD is going to be exposed most nights, And Ekblad has an injury history if he goes down so goes the team. I can see where both Boston and Florida and Ottawa could be fighting for the last wild card position.

I'll say this, FLA "to miss playoffs" at 5.5 to 1 odds is pretty good value, IMO. They should secure a spot, but I'm taking that wager all day given the rest of the East.
