But that doesn’t mean the Cats shouldn’t set some new year’s resolutions, as we all should. It’s a noble cause. Here are a few we think the Panthers should consider:
1). Get Vincent Trocheck some wingers: Trocheck has played with at least seven or eight different combinations of wingers this year, and though now it seems the team has finally settled on Trocheck with Malgin and Dadonov, the likelihood is that won’t last forever.
Whether Dadonov or Bjugstad end up with Trocheck for the long term remains to be seen, but getting him some consistent wingers he can build chemistry with should be a primary goal of the offseason, whether it comes from in-house or somewhere else.
