With a new coaching staff behind the bench, along with a new starting goaltender, the Florida Panthers have a new identity entering the 2019-20 NHL season.
After having what most would say was a productive offseason, the Panthers are now expected to reach new heights – heights that haven’t been reached since the team first assembled.
The roster is bolstered with a lot of talent up front, particularly on the top two lines. However, unlike in previous years, the bottom two lines are filled with potential and promise, which should provide some much-needed depth.
The blue line, on the other hand, may have some holes on paper, but Joel Quenneville and staffs’ new defensive system and philosophies should at least minimize the basic mistakes the team has made for years on end.
