Time for Dallas to Deal
December 5th, 2016 The Dallas Stars have problems. Saturday night's masterful shutout win over the slumping Colorado Avalanche notwithstanding, goalies Kari Lehtonen and Antti Niemi have been maddeningly inconsistent. Too many forwards are sick, injured, banged up, trying to get up to speed after an injury, or simply slumping. Last, but not least, the...
Panthers Pickups Proving Problematic
October 31st, 2016 They say a winning lottery ticket comes with its own set of problems. Florida Panthers general manager Tom Rowe would undoubtedly agree.

For Sceviour, the surroundings were familiar, but everything else was strange: his uniform, his linemates, even the...
Sceviour, Demers Move to Florida

Off-ice changes aside, the Panthers entered last Friday's "free agent frenzy" seemingly with plenty of money to spend. As I pointed out last Thursday, however, that cap space was an illusion. Florida GM Tom Rowe would have to explore low-cost options to...
