2015-2016 Florida Panthers...

will a team with one future Hockey Hall of Fame member make the Stanley Cup playoffs,this season???  Make a guess??? Jaromir Jagr will be a Hall of Fame member when he retires... unfortunately,he is not retired... unfortunately,he is 43(will be 44,in February),and the Florida Panthers are not the 1991/1992 Pittsburgh Penguins,who won back to back Stanley Cups,back in those years... Jagr was on those teams... however,they do have talent but not enough firepower to go toe to toe with the top teams in the NHL... Roberto Luongo is in goal,in the his second stint with the Panthers,which is good for the Panthers,but the backup is Al Montoya,who may be very good,and yet,in terms of the NHL,is very green,in goal... Nick Bjugstad,Aleksander Barkov,Jonathan Huberdeau,along with Jagr,headline an improved team offense,and Aaron Ekblad(a future Norris award winner:my opinion),with Dmitry Kulikov,headline a team defense that could be tough to play against,in the Eastern Conference,but to be a constant Stanley Cup contender,they need more team offense,better team defense,and a healthy goaltender duo... unfortunately,they will need to build that team... one good thing about the Panthers:they are tough to play in Sunrise,Florida... they did win 38 games,and had a winning record at home,and,surprisingly,also on the road,but with powerhouses like the Boston Bruins,and the Red Wings,they will have a tough time to climb the Eastern Conference ladder to the Stanley Cup playoffs... they could be a sleeper team to make the Stanley Cup playoffs,this season,but again,it may come down to how well the goaltending goes,this season...
