The Panthers will not be adding any top notch or even adequate starters this year via free agency. Don't look for it, it is not going to happen.

Why? Because they can't. There is no money. Zero. None. Bupkus.

We will be extremely lucky to clear the cap with restructuring our current players like Beason and out right cutting players like Gamble . In other words we are selling, not buying.

We have no money.

We have no money.

Money is something we do not have.

If there is one thing we don't have, it is money.

Our only hope is that Gettleman can pull off the best draft in Panthers history and get 3 or 4 solid starters out of it.

That is all.

...yet.

gettleman is going to have to be trimming a lot to get under the cap and make room for rookies to be signed. it's not unreasonable to think if we can do that then we should be able to clear enough to sign a free agent or two or three. more than that it will probably be necessary because some that will have to be trimmed are starters.

it won't be much, but gettleman is going to have to replace some overpaid starters and fill some holes with cheaper alternatives. i just hope he's got as good of an eye for finding hidden gems as most believe he does.

      I am curious to see if Warren is the elite player that the Huddle Warren stans believe. I am always fairly wary of these first round TE's.

      The Rossi things isn't going away, either... https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3312416/unfinished-business-7-players-to-watch-in-back-half-of-nhl-offseason The Wild and Rossi shouldn't be having any trouble hammering out an extension. Rossi, an RFA turning 24 in September, recorded the second-most points on the team last season (60 in 82 games). The smart, skilled, highly competitive 5-foot-9 Austrian is a homegrown top-six center. Minnesota has $10 million in cap space and no other significant spots to fill to finalize its 2025-26 roster. Problems lurk below the surface, however. Coach John Hynes demoted Rossi to the fourth line in the playoffs, dropping his nightly usage from 18 minutes in the regular season to 11 in the first-round series loss to Vegas. GM Bill Guerin's top to-do list item at the moment is to lock up Kirill Kaprizov. The superstar winger, who's been eligible for an extension since July 1, is due for Leon Draisaitl-type money (around $14 million average annual value) starting in 2026-27. Guerin has said there's no rush to sign, trade, or match an offer sheet for Rossi. If he stays, a short-term extension makes sense, since it gives both player and team flexibility. If he leaves, a trade is far more likely than an offer sheet. Half of the league could use a second-line center, and Rossi still has upside. The Hurricanes desperately need to upgrade at 2C (Jesperi Kotkaniemi isn't going to cut it) and have plenty of cap space. Ditto for the Sabres, who picked Jack Quinn one spot before Rossi went to the Wild in the 2020 draft. Mammoth bench boss Andre Tourigny coached Rossi in junior, and they don't have as much wiggle room, but trading top-six winger Nick Schmaltz (plus a pick) could make the math work. Guerin wants to make a so-called "hockey trade" here.
