They can go into this rebuild with more assets if they make good trades on the UFAs this year and next. Who knows they might have a Gaudreau in the system. The Huberdreau contract is a stinker but they will be through year 5 of that contract before ELCs start ticking in a big way if they hit in the next few drafts.
The biggest elephant in the room on a tear down rebuild is if the Panthers fall apart this year or next and finish bottom ten.
