For years, the Florida Panthers have never had a consistent enough goaltender who could keep them afloat in the majority of their games.
Essentially, goaltending was their problem, which prevented them from winning close games. However, this year, that problem has been diminished and can no longer be considered an issue, thanks to netminder Sergei Bobrovsky.
After signing a seven-year deal worth $10M annually in Sunrise, Florida, there were critics who labeled the signing as a bad one, citing the price as too much.
While his price tag comes in at second-most for all goaltenders across the league (sitting just behind Carey Price), he’s already shown that his play matches his worth.
