Spencer Knight’s new Panthers mask features artwork by some of the young patients at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital.
This was Spencer’s idea and honestly one of the coolest things I’ve seen an NHL goalie do with his mask.

As the dust settles from the Panthers-Flames blockbuster, I’m told Jonathan Huberdeau isn’t particularly happy with how everything played out.
There were some early, informal extension talks, but Huby’s camp was waiting for an offer that never came. The next call was the trade.

Sounds like Ryan Lomberg may have priced himself out of staying with the Panthers.

Panthers have re-signed Skills Coach Max Ivanov to a three-year extension, per his Insta.
Max is one of the many unsung heroes on the coaching staff that puts in tireless hours, on the ice and behind the scenes. It’s a hell of a group Mo has put together. Congrats to Max.

As Bobrovsky and Panarin weigh their options, I’m told they have a very strong desire to play together. Panarin is leaning towards Florida but Bobrovsky is torn; Lamoriello playing a “huge impact” per source. Seems either way, it’s down to FLA and NYI.
