Panik, 24, was a waiver pick up last October after he didn’t make the Lightning out of training camp. In 76 games for the Leafs this past season, he posted 11 goals and 17 points.
Let’s take a bit of a closer look at the year that was for Panik.
Positives
He averaged only 11:38 in ice time last season, but still managed 11 goals, ten of which were at even strength as he played only 47 seconds a night on average with the man advantage.
Panik managed to stay above water possession wise on a bad possession team, posting a positive CF% relative to his teammates.
