The Panthers activated Marchand from IR and he’ll make his season debut tonight.

Edvinsson has said he wants to be traded, instead of signing with Detroit. Sounds familiar.

Simon says...Boom for Edvinsson...young left shot D for young left shot D, both restricted free agents, both disgruntled with their current teams and both holding out!!!

Owners generally pay attention when you vote with your feet. Sometimes it's the only time they pay attention.

If our top players wanted out, I'd be really worried too.

9 million for 10 games (min) is good scratch

This guy is a Panthers-centric podcaster. He says he’s been told Barkov is out 10-12 weeks.

Yeah, there's more info/speculation around on Barkov today. So the team probably have been given his prognosis. 10-12 weeks implies relatively minor surgery and recovery, and could be optimistic. Also, there's no telling how he can move when he gets back. Slavin was a shell of himself last year, for example. He looks pretty good after a full, healthy off season, but last year was an adventure.

Chris Illitch says he recognizes fan frustrations. On LinkedIn.

Posting a public statement on freaking LinkedIn might be the most Chris Illich thing of all time. Dude makes ketchup seem spicy.

 

[andyt]

Updated timeline for Barkov is 6-8 weeks per Jameson Olive, who is their Walt Ruff.

[jeffbear]

So ... rehab only. Similar timeline to Slavin's last season. Of course we never did get the full picture on that and probably never will.

Flyers signed UFA Michael Bunting, 1 year, $1.2 million

The Rat in Florida looks to be laid up and unable to lick faces and break all the rules for months if not all season long...it sure looked like a season ending knee injury at first glance.

Nah, he will magically heal for Game 1 of the playoffs with Mr Barkov

I'm thinking that Marchand and Barkov should lead the League in Dominoes by the Holidays. Wouldn't it be terrible if the Rat had to hang 'em up?
