Welcome to all as we embark on another (slightly) shortened summer of free agent signings. Florida Panthers general manager Bill Zito doesn’t have much in the way of cap space to work with this offseason, so he’ll have be very crafty to fill out the rest of the club’s roster for the 2022-23 season.
Zito will most likely have to work a trade or two to open the cap space needed to keep the likes of a Claude Giroux, Mason Marchment or Ben Chiarot while gathering enough bodies to ice a 22 or 23-man lineup.
