They are in a bad place right now, 6 in a row. I would be lying if I said I felt sorry for the losing streak.

I'm still wondering why the Panthers waived Michael Grabner.

That one was just strange. They just let a speedy young winger with great upside and NHL experience go because they were too deep on the flanks? Yeah a corps of David Booth, Cory Stillman, Chris Higgins, and Radek Dvorak in the top 6 sure is an embarrassment of riches.

Are we to assume then that the centerpiece for Dale Tallon in the Ballard trade was in fact Steve Bernier? It's mind-boggling really.

Not sure how good Salak is but sounds like he is the Panthers best goaltending prospect as well.

Trade looks really good for the Hawks, I like it a lot Frolik is definitely a welcomed addition.

*VENTING*

Because Tallon apparently dislikes European players and the Panthers are the worst run team in the league and have been for years. The Panthers so very rarely draft anyone good and when they do they get bent over in a trade. Look at the Panthers draft history since they began as a franchise its absolutely horrific.

The trades they make with some very scarce exceptions are terrible I honestly can't remember the last trade they made where my initial thought wasn't "Wait they got what? Who? FML" Bouwmeester, Luongo, Ballard, Horton, Bure to the Rangers, every trade. Even the Viktor Kozlov trade sucked considering on the Panthers terrible team he was the 2nd best forward and the return 2 guys who never made it in the NHL. Even worse is the fact that DeBoer has no idea how to handle grown players, treat them like men, or deal with them as people.



Salak isn't the Panthers top goalie prospect that's supposed to be Markstrom but in typical Panthers fashion i fully expect Salak to turn into a Vezina candidate.

Well, at least you got Olli Jokinen's best years.

But then you traded him for what turned out to be the unsuccessful Staal brother, one decent year of Nick Boynton, and a guy that blasted your goalie in the head in frustration.

And that, sadly, was probably the Panthers' best trade of the past ten years.
