A great team. They have a lot of free agents. I think this will be their last one.
And the next one will be Edmonton, you mean?
What if they have the same set of players next year too?
reply
Not sure. Edmonton should be very good again. They will be one of the favourites. Need to see where free agents go.
reply
Florida dominated in their last 3 wins
the turning point was game 2, Florida winning in double overtime
reply
They fought valiantly. It's just they lacked the penetration at the crunch moments.
And seemed like they surrendered meekly after the brawl.
reply
Their goaltending and defense let them down.
reply
Florida was the tougher more physical team
Edmonton tried to emulate Florida when they should have focused on their strengths
So they should know what needs to be mended and come back stronger in the next season.
We'll, best of luck to Canada!
If oilers can spill a bit more purse on the free agents, they might come to them. All teams got the same purse or it differs?
reply
I was actually rooting for Edmonton
reply
Me too but I expected the Panthers to win.
reply
No state income tax and Florida is a pretty nice place to live. I imagine many players would give up a few million for deep playoff runs and better tax policies
reply
Probably but they have 15 FAs. Hard to imagine everyone comes back.
