Locked On Panthers - Daily Podcast On The Florida Panthers

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is here to discuss Sandis Vilamanis leading the way for team Latvia in the World Championships, contributing to almost half the goals, as they are on to the Quarterfinals. Matthew Tkachuk continues to get in on the scoring for the USA, playing in just four of the seven round robin games as they will advance to the Quarterfinals to face Canada. Barkov (at the time of recording) continued to get on the scoring, knocking in two goals in Finland's final round robin game against host nation Switzerland. Vilmanis leading Latvia only creates more of a case of him giving himself a big chance to make the Panthers roster out of training camp, which will make the Panthers lineup decisions in defense and goal easier to manage. Tomas Nosek is reportedly going back to his home club in Czechia, which means the Panthers will need a 4C. We chat about Nosek's long career in North America and how much of a success story he's become on multiple levels. Lastly, we start with our grades on the Panthers fourth line with grading Tomas Nosek, AJ Greer, Cole Reinhardt, and Luke Kunin. We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is here with Nich Fairbanks(@Prudentia0) as the two discuss how other Vezina Trophy goaltenders got compensated as they hit their late 30's. The two also discuss Bill Zito truly having the hammer, and is it a situation where they can afford to have Bobrovsky and a goaltender on a mimimum salary, or must they go all-in on the succession plan? How does that effect the rest of the roster? Lastly, The Athletic put out a model on how the Panthers are situated and it matches what many have been saying of Florida's biggest needs and where they are thriving in. We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) and Jacob Winans(@JakeW_8) discuss the likelihood of the Panthers down just for assets and not a player. Compensation from the ninth overall pick does not bring the best of chances of getting a future high draft pick. With the Cats having a volume of picks outside of round 1 even in future drafts, does it matter to get even more when the team believe's they're in "win now" mode? The guys also go over some statistics on the chances of a pick at ninth overall playing a certain amount of games vs. later in the lottery. To close the show, the guys discuss the mindset of a draft pick knowing where it's landed vs. trading for a future as they've done in the past. How have other teams done in their compensation packages from the Panthers with all the first round picks that they've received? Only one team is seeing the fruits of that labor. We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is here to discuss with what the remaining starting goaltenders are making, how important it is for the Panthers Front Office to be committed to a certain number and not go past that in their attempt to re-sign Sergei Bobrovsky. Carolina is in the conference final again, and are seen as a heavy favorite over Montreal. The bogeyman Panthers are not there to spoil the party, is the narrative valid of the Canes' path not being the most difficult? Carolina will set a record of days off in between rounds, and ESPN's Mark Messier spoke about how the better team will eventually win the series no matter the rest, so we look back at how the Panthers have done in their history when winning a series when they've had more rest as oppose to when they've had less, and how it ultimately came down to going through the grind of the playoffs over and over again to finally break through. We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is here to discuss Aleksander Barkov dominating the World Championships at Finland is undefeated through three games. Barkov is not on a minutes restriction neither, so a positive sign that he'll be able to do so from the start of the upcoming season. Panthers are looking for a new director of salary cap manegement, could they look to a former front office executive from a rival team to fill in that open position? We also give out season grades to Evan Rodrigues, Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Bennett. We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is here to discuss the possibility of F Mackie Samoskevich signing an offer sheet with another organization now that he is eligible for one or can go to arbitration. We discuss what the Panthers would get back if they don't match an offer sheet and what their draft capital could look like in 2027. We look if the Panthers match it, it could have them in a squeeze to re-sign some other players. There's a chance that he or Jesper Boqvist could be on the trade block, so we give them their player grades for this last season. We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.
