Back from my honeymoon in the Carribean, and ready to whip my team into shape for the coming season. I thank those who aided in accelerating Mikka Kiprusoffs rating by 12 points to a 75OV. I was not shocked with raises of 4 points given to guys like Ponikarovski, and Schaefer, but was a bit surprised that Sean Donovan was given a 72 OV rating (I was hoping for a 70, but thankyou for the bonus points). I was also happy to see the Snow man tow the line, and guys like Stumpel, Weight, and Hrdina also able to maintain their Zubial ratings. Unfortunately Alexei Kovalev fell 4 points in OV ratings, but in all honesty thats probably pretty accurate considering how he's played in his last 85 regular season NHL games (hopefully they play some hockey this season and he plays with Mario and Recchi and racks up some points).
So the first order of bussiness for the Panthers will be to teach my players how to speak Spanish, as that language is far more prevelent in Miami than I ever would have imagined :angry:. I feel this will go a long ways towards enhancing my teams image in the community. After that I'm looking to find either a 4th line center or RW with a fairly low salary. Of course I am also open to any trade offers you all might like to throw my way. As it stands my team needs to improve at every position if we want to have a sniff at the playoffs come March.
