How Florida Panthers can win their First Stanley Cup

 The Florida Panthers have never won a Stanley Cup in the existence of their franchise; the closest they came to winning a Stanley Cup was in 1996 when they lost in the Stanley Cup Finals to the Colorado Avalanche. If the Florida Panthers want to win a Stanley Cup, they should make these moves.


At the expansion draft, one trade is made:

Florida Panthers trade Keith Yandle to the Seattle Kraken for a 2021 2nd round pick, 2021 3rd rd pick. If the Kraken make the playoffs, the Panthers get an additional 2022 2nd rd pick.

Keith Yandle would have to waive his no-move clause, but I think he would be he would get more ice time with the Seattle Kraken, who could use a veteran defenseman like Yandle.


Florida Panthers lose Chris Driedger to the Seattle Kraken in the expansion draft.


Before the 2021 draft, two trades are made:


Florida Panthers trade Anton Stralman to the Columbus Blue Jackets for a 2021 4th round pick.

The Panthers unload Stralman's contract, while the Blue Jackets get a veteran defenseman that fits into Columbus' system.


The Panthers also trade Anthony Duclair, Lucas Wallmark, Gustav Forsling to the Dallas Stars for Jamie Oleksiak, Jason Dickinson.

The Panthers add Jamie Oleksiak and Jason Dickinson, two solid players who can be stop-gap solutions until their prospects are NHL ready.


At the 2021 Draft, the Florida Panthers trade pick 35 to the Arizona Coyotes for picks 44, 2022 3rd round pick. 


2021 Draft

22-Zachary L'Heureux

44-Logan Mailloux

67-Fyodor Svechkov

Florida Panthers draft three very good prospects in Zachary L'Heureux, Logan Mailloux, and Fyodor Svechkov; all three prospects should play a key role on the team down the road.


Florida Panthers re-sign a few players:

Jamie Oleksiak-3yrs/3.6M per

Sam Bennett-2yrs/4M per

Brandon Montour-2yrs/4M per

Alexander Wennberg-3yrs/2.8M per

Jason Dickinson-1yr/1M per


Florida Panthers re-sign all other RFAs

At the 2022 Trade deadline, one major trade is made:

Florida Panthers acquire Zack Werenski from the Columbus Blue Jackets for Grigori Denisenko, Aleksi Heponiemi, John Ludvig, and a 1st round pick in 2023. If Werenski tops 50 points, the Blue Jackets get a 2025 1st round pick.

The Florida Panthers make it to the 2nd round of the playoffs in the 2021-22 season but lose in 6 games to the Carolina Hurricanes.


Before the 2022 draft, one major trade is made:


Florida Panthers trade Frank Vatrano, Markus Nutivaara to the San Jose Sharks for Mario Ferraro, and a 2022 3rd rd pick.

Florida Panthers get Mario Ferraro, a physical defenseman that will round out the defense, and a 2022 3rd round pick in exchange for Frank Vatrano and Markus Nutivaara.

The Florida Panthers win the Presidents' Trophy in the 2022-23 season, and make it to the Conference Finals, before losing to the New York Rangers in 6 games.


Before the 2023 draft, two major trades are made:

Florida Panthers trade Patric Hornqvist, Radko Gudas to the Detroit Red Wings for Michael Rasmussen, 2023 2nd rd pick.

The Red Wings get two savy veteran players in Hornqvist and Gudas, while the Panthers get Michael Rasmussen, a solid young power forward and a draft pick.

Carter Verhaeghe, Alexander Wennberg are traded to the New York Rangers for Vitaly Kravtsov, Brett Howden.

The Rangers get more depth and versatility in the lineup with the Additions of Verhaeghe and Wennberg, while the Panthers get Vitaly Kravtsov, a very skilled right-winger to play with Barkov and Huberdeau.


2023 draft

The Florida Panthers draft Mazden Leslie, a high-end offensive defenseman, that could be useful down the line.

Fantasy Hockey Keeper League Advice

Keeper leagues add a layer of strategy and long-term planning to fantasy hockey. Every keeper league has its own unique rules and scoring settings, so adjust your strategy accordingly. By following these tips and adapting to your league's specific dynamics, you can increase your chances of long-term success. Here are some tips to help you dominate your Fantasy Hockey Keeper Leagues. Number of Keepers and League Settings When deciding on keepers, it is very important to know how many keepers the league allows you to keep and the league scoring system, because there are players that work better in H2H CAT leagues as opposed to H2H leagues with standard scoring categories.  If you can only keep a few players, focus on those who provide the most value in your specific scoring format. Keep players who excel in categories that are heavily weighted in your league (e.g., power-play points, hits, blocks, faceoffs). If the league uses Rotisserie or Points settings, you will have to take that...

Fantasy Hockey All Star Edition Defenseman

 These are the best defenseman so far this season in Fantasy Hockey: Rasmus Dahlin Rasmus Dahlin has been by far the best defenseman in Fantasy this season, and it isn't close; he has 13 goals, 35 assists, 23 PPP, 119 SOG and a +16 rating on a bad Buffalo team. If Dahlin can sustain this type of production for the rest of the season, he will be a favorite to win the Norris trophy. Cale Makar Cale Makar has been a tad bit disappointing considering he was a top 5 pick in most fantasy drafts, but he is still having a fantastic season; he has tallied 13 goals, 30 assists, 21 PPP, 136 SOG, along with 3 GWG and a +7 rating. His dip in production may be due in large part to the injuries on Colorado, but as the team gets healthy, look for a strong second half from Cale Makar and Colorado. Roman Josi Roman Josi has once again been the best player for the Nashville Predators, putting up 12 goals, 23 assists, 17 PPP, 187 SOG, 4 GWG and a surprising 100 blocks, which is only 33 shy of last yea...

FANTASY HOCKEY WAIVER WIRE PLAYERS TO PICKUP

C Sean Couturier -After missing 2+ years, Sean Couturier is back and it seems like he hasn't missed a beat. Believe it or not, Couturier has been one of the top centers in the league so far with his all-around play, putting up 2 goals, 3 assists, 2 PPP, 63 FW, 24 SOG, and 1 SHP. Despite showing that he is still an elite center, Couturier is only owned in 20% of fantasy leagues. Pick him up now, while you still can. Ryan Johansen - Serves as the Avalanche's 2nd line center and plays on their all-world 1st pp unit. Despite not being the player he used to be, Johansen is still a valuable fantasy asset because of the players he plays with. Johansen has 4 goals and 4 PPPs along with 63 FW so far this season. He is owned in 29% of fantasy leagues. Sean Monahan - Someone must have gotten a time machine and put Sean Monahan in it because he is playing like he was back when he was in his prime. Monahan has been arguably the best player on Montreal this year, with 3 goals, 6 points, 2 PP...
