As much as I want FLA to make the playoffs this year, I unfortunately think they will miss out.

Panthers Offseason Plans:

Free Agent Signings:

Jagr (RW) 1 year deal at 2.5 million

Justin Williams (RW) 3 year deal at around 3.5-3.8 Million per year

Why they sign with FLA,

Jagr has really done well in FLA (12 games and 9 points with 7 games remaining) he has publicly said he would like to stay, I believe Dale gives him a re-sign.

Williams, LA has already said theat there may not be room for him on the roster full of young talent, he comes to FLA because of Mittchell and he becomes a big part of a young team that needs vetren leadership.

Re-signing phase

Pirri 2 years around 2 million each (bridge deal)

Hayes 2 year deal around 1.5-2 million (bridge deal)

Huby 6 year deal 4.1 million (similar to Bjustad)

Upshall and Kopecky let walk

With FLA depth there is really no need to trade for kessle or jepordize their future so that's why I didn't do any trade.

Lines Offence:

Huby--Barkov--Jagr
Pirri--Bjustad--Jokinen
Boyes--Bolland--Williams
Mackinze--Trochek--Grimaldi

Defence Lines:

Ekblad--Campbell
Guddy--Kampfer
Kulikov--Mitchell

Scrathes:

Thorton
Petrovic

Goalies:

Luongo
Montoya

With this team here I believe that FLA will make the playoffs with alittle more ease that this year, not by a lot but I think thst this time next year they will be where Washington is (90 points with 7 games left)

Let me know your input! thank you!

jagr resigning is believable, but I see williams going to a more immediate cup contender, nto one that will be so in maybe 3 or 4 years, asby then hell be pushing 40 and likely retired,

I think FLA will be contenders within 2-3 years and Williams is 33 years old so not that close to 40, but I do see where you are coming from and thank you for your input.

Your plan looks descent and possible, the results you expect might be wishful thinking.
JÃ¤gr on top line, kampfer in the top 4.

That true. Williams is very probable for FLA to get and if the kids play well with Jagr like this year then I think they will be good
