The NHL returns with a big slate of 8 games here including the Stanley Cup favorite Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning have been unreal in the regular season in recent times, but always seem to choke in the playoffs. Is this their year?
The Florida Panthers have been mostly irrelevant for most of the last 20 years, but will offseason shuffling help improve this squad into being a playoff contender?
Florida Panthers
The Florida Panthers were atrocious on defense last year as they allowed the 4th most goals of all teams in the NHL.
[dfads params=’groups=234&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
They have made some moves to remedy that situation as they hired Joel Quinville to take over as head coach. They also lost Roberto Luongo to retirement, but he was mostly injured last year and was ineffective when he played.
The Panthers now have Bobrovsky who is a 10 million dollar a year cap hit, but should help solidify this team’s goaltending problems.They also got Anton Stralman from today’s opponent the Tampa Bay Lightning on a 3 year deal who will also help solidify this Panthers side on the back end.

Tampa Bay Lightning
Tampa Bay are +750 to win the Stanley Cup and that is with good reason when you consider the roster they have.
Kucherov, Stamkos, Johnson this team appears to have it all, but have been mightily unimpressive in the playoffs and no one will be impressed with another 120+ point regular season that ends with a first or second round exit in the playoffs.
Look for this Lightning team to start strong in their home opener and to really take it to their in-state rivals in the Florida Panthers.
