Armando Velez from @LockedOnPanthersNHL joins us to discuss the Anton Lundell extension, the signing of Jaycob Megna, the opening of development camp, and our new band.
Great show guys. Just wondering why Armando thinks either Bennett or Swaggy would walk after next year. With the cap increasing about $4M, Yandle’s $1M coming off, and counting the Ekblad, Bennett, and Swaggy current deals expiring after next year (~$17M). Swaggy gets $7.5, Bennett gets $7, Ekblad gets $7. All three can be signed. If not, they could let Ekblad walk.
Could get Ekblad for less since his capabilities are totally different from when he signed the 7.5. but you do have other guys to sign next year besides those 3.
