The Panthers are a team with too much money tied up on Defence and Goaltending that is not performing anywhere near elite level.

I don't really watch them ever, so I don't know the team all that well, but is Mike Matheson really a player who is worth 4.875 million a season? Possibly his counting stats look similar to Anderson or Hanifan, but to have 3 guys ahead of him making more has him as one of the most expensive #4 D men in the league. Than account for Ekblad and Yandle being pretty high paid as the top 2 and a 10 million dollar guy in net. You better be in the mix for the Jennings trophy with a roster like that. Especially with Florida being a no tax state where the salary's should be lower than in many other markets.
