Not that we had one before that either lol.
I think there's way too much talk about this (especially by the media North of the border who traditionally aren't well connected to the Panthers), considering the only thing we know is that Weegar's agent filed for salary arbitration. Plenty of RFAs file for that every offseason and don't end up getting traded.
Weegar's agent could be trying to put pressure on Zito to get a longer contract done before the hearing, where he'll be awarded a 1 year contract and risk walking to UFA next year. Maybe for whatever reason, he doesn't want to sign longer than 1 year and intends to test the market next year.
Zito could be thinking between value now, value at the deadline, or Weegar as our own "rental" for the season. It's a tough call, but if you have an idea that Weegar isn't planning to stick around, this is a good time to find a replacement, especially at these prices for guys with term and money. Also how does Zito see Weegar? Is he a legit top pairing/top4 complementary guy to Ekblad, or someone who's just playing there because we didn't have a better fit available? Are his injury issues a concern, or something worth taking the risk?
Whatever it is, if Zito is truly shopping Weegar, he surely has his reasons and a plan in place to replace Weegar.
Well if he’s not full of shit then sounds like Daddy.Dwork said UFA moves are coming
His tweet is confusing to me.Dwork said UFA moves are coming
Wait? Which dwork post? I take it that Florida is running a tight ship and trying to exploit environmentWell if he’s not full of shit then sounds like Daddy.
His tweet is confusing to me.

Pardon my French, but Dwork knows jack shit when it comes to anything trade/UFA related and it's been proven year after year.Dwork said UFA moves are coming
I mean I think Deork has a pointPardon my French, but Dwork knows jack shit when it comes to anything trade/UFA related and it's been proven year after year.
I'm tempted to blacklist him here if he doesn't break anything this offseason, his tweets are a waste of space. At least drunk Harvey brought comedy relief.

Home run meaning Wennberg, Gudas, Vergheheuhue I guess

Yeah, like MF88 said.Is it? He's saying we're expecting to sign UFAs and Zito isn't leaking the info but what's already been accomplished is considered a job well done.
There are 18 players on the roster, with a couple of RFA expected to sign. The expectation that they would add some more UFA and not completely rely on Tippett, Denisenko, Borgström and Keeper to fill the final spots is not especially controversial.Yeah, like MF88 said.
It says there is expectation that moves are coming but insinuates that we already signed who we wanted so no more moves needed?? Idk maybe I’m trippin’

Eh I’m actually okay with our forward depth: we have six guys that would have scored 20 last year (Vat, Conn, Cookie, Huby, Horny, Barky) on our team and likely a 7th in Dady, Tippett has the potential to be the 8th. I expect Acciari to be more at 10, but we have some buy low guys who might add.
Everyone forgets that we didn’t have a legitimate second line last year after trading Troch and we might not ‘this year, but we essentially turned Hoffman and Haula into Wennberg, Hornqvist and Tippett
im not sure how this qualifies as a home run. These are guys with no history of scoring in this league. Wennberg in particular is a 4C who is about to be slotted as a 2C.
I get that there’s still time, but I don’t think we’re a playoff team with this question mark-laden forward group.
Acciari.Maybe I'm trying to erase last season, but who the hell is Cookie? And what an awful nickname.
Acciari.
