When you look at Florida’s roster, the most glaring holes that need to be addressed come on the blue line and in the crease. The team’s top-six is as solid as it’s ever been in franchise history and shouldn’t be altered too much this offseason.
That said, the forward group as a whole drops off after the top two lines. Rat Trick contributor, Matt Lichtenstadter, recently wrote a piece on the Panthers needing to improve their bottom six and I couldn’t agree more.
When it comes to building a supporting cast to round out the bottom of the forward core, there should be no hesitation from the Panthers front office when it comes to re-signing Juho Lammikko.
