For those of you who follow the Panthers closely, you knew that this offseason was going to be a quiet one. With limited cap space to work with and with all the notable free agents receiving a payday of some sorts, the Cats had to get creative to address their needs. And creative they were!
Going into the summer, Florida had three needs that required addressing. Those three were (in no particular order):
- Acquiring a top-six scoring winger.
- Finding another shutdown defenseman to add to the mix.
- Signing a goaltender to replace Harri Sateri.
