"The team was terrible tension. Coaches yelling, young boys of which have been shaken. Overall, it was nothing special."

"I would like to play a good team that has a chance at the playoffs."

Horton - 8/10 - He really re-defined his game this season, he's become much more mobile and he doesn't float around looking for chances anymore. This was possibly his best season so far in the NHL, under the right circumstances I think he can still be a go-to-guy and a consistent 30 goal scorer.

Weiss - 8/10 - 60 points or so is probably his ceiling, he proved this season that he can't get it done on his own and he needs a guy like Horton or Booth.

Booth - 8/10 - Only 8 goals but he was outstanding when healthy and that 8 goals could have easily been 15 with a little more luck in front of the net.

Frolik - 7.5/10 - Sophmore slump? Absolutely not, he earned the same numbers as last year and has looked pretty good all year. Dissapointing that he didn't make a jump this year but I think he's still capable of 30 goals, 60 points.

Reinprecht - 6/10 - He brought exactly what was advertised... not much. He's a decent 3rd liner and a bad 2nd liner. His relevence to the team next year will depend if we get someone to bump him down to the 3rd line or not.

Dvorak - 7/10 - He's been suprisingly bad defensively, especially on the penalty kill this year, but he's still one of the hardest workers, a good leader and one of the better 3rd liners in the league.

Olesz - 6/10 - 30 points and solid play isnt bad for a 3rd liner, it's horrible for someone of his paygrade though. His forte has always been defensive play and its a testament to his defensive abilities that no one ever notices him. It's too bad he was given so much money, if he wasn't he would probably be celebrated as a solid defensive forward, instead he's constantly critisized for not being able to play a style of game that he wasn't drafted for.

Campbell - 6/10 - He is a leader. Period. Forget the goals, thats not his game, he'll probably always be a role player and I think I speak for most Panther fans when I say theres always a spot on the fourth line for him.

Stillman - 7/10 - He's still got it, very crafty when healthy, nothing bad to say about him but it would probably benefit the team if he was replaced by someone who can play a full season.

Matthias - 6/10 - Gaining confidence every shift, I expect 40 points out of him next year.

Kreps - 3/10 - His mediocre faceoff ability doesn't warrant his place on the roster, time to move on.

Bitz - 5/10 - He's a banger, not much more, I wouldn't expect much from him next year.

Oreskovich - 4/10 - Same as Bitz, just worse. He doesn't bring much to the table aside from a hit every now and then, AHL calibre player.

Repik - 6/10 - 100% ready for the NHL, loves to shoot the puck, very creative, creates space for himself and teammates, very fiesty. It would be a shame if he doesn't make the team out of training camp.

Mcardle - 4/10 - A healthy Mcardle might eliminate Oreskovich's chances of making the team, Mcardle is a banger like Oreskovich just with a little more talent, like Bitz.

Tarnasky - 5/10 - A fighter who's more than a fighter, he's earned a new contract and a spot on the team next year.

McCabe - 6/10 - ZERO creativity on the power play, how many times have we seen that stupid behind the back pass? He gets his shots blocked way too often and his defensive play ranges from decent to atrocious. He still creates goals although his play is absolutely nowhere near deserving of his salary.

Ballard - 7/10 - Since the break he's shown us his true self, probably our best defensemen after we traded Seidenberg and Leopold.

Allen - 7/10 - His usefulness is limited but he plays within his limits and is fairly effective.

Kulikov - 6/10 - Before january I would have given him a 1/10 but he's almost an NHL calibre defensmen now. Kulikov will be ready to positively contribute to the team next year.

Garrison - 7/10 - Where it took Kulikov an entire season to learn the NHL it took Garrison about 5 games. He should be a solid defensmen for a long time.

Ellerby - 5/10 - He looks shaky, probably from all that time sitting on the bench. Deboer has a habit of continuing to bench young players after they have good shifts and I am starting to question whether or not Ellerby will ever make the team.

Koistinen - ?/10 - His play is very similar to Ossi Vaatanen's who is proving to everyone that you dont need to be big to be a good defensmen.Hopefully Koistinen will get a chance to play D next year, he was our best defensmen in training camp.

Vokoun - 9/10 - Hopefully he'll regain his confidence (with a western team!).

Clemmensen - 6/10 - Who knows how he'll play, he and Markstrom could make a good combo, they could make an atrocious combo though. Predicting if Clemmer will be useful to us or not next year is a shot in the dark.

Straight from ESPN, no suprises here.

Panthers scuttlebutt

At this point, the Florida Panthers really don't know whether they are buyers or sellers given their bubble position in the playoff race. The remaining games before the Olympics will have a big bearing on that. If they fall back in the race, UFAs-to-be Dennis Seidenberg and Jordan Leopold could both be made available as rentals.

But win or lose over the next week heading into Friday's Olympic roster freeze (the trade deadline before the March 3 deadline), I'm told two players are available from the Panthers no matter the circumstances: forwards Rostislav Olesz and Kamil Kreps. Olesz, who has played well at times this season, has four more years on his deal at a $3.125 million cap hit, while Kreps is set to become a restricted free agent July 1.

I'm told star goalie Tomas Vokoun, who has one year left on his deal at $6.3 million, will not be made available before March 3 regardless of where the Panthers are in the standings. That's a situation the team will revisit come June.

These are usually fun, they do it in soccer a lot, anyways here goes. These ratings are relative to the rest of the league. If you dont like my ratings please post your own, I'm really just killing time here.

Vokoun - 9/10 - Best player on the team, almost no game-costing mistakes like last year what else do I have to say?
Clemmensen - 6/10 - He's stolen some games but he's also blown some, I understand why Pete doesn't play him. Clemmer looks to have lost the form he had last year with the Devils.

McCabe - 6/10 - Some good plays, some atrocious plays, some good leadership, some bad, he won't be leading us to the playoffs anytime soon.
Ballard - 6/10 - Same as McCabe, he was expected to be a big part of this team and it hasn't happened.
Leopold - 7/10 - Quietly solid, offensively and defensively capable and he has more goals than Bouwmeester!
Seidenberg - 8/10 - Does just about everything right, an upgrade of Skrastins although not an impact player.

Kulikov - 4/10 - Hate to be too harsh on the kid but he's a defensive trainwreck. He is NOT and NEVER WAS ready for the nhl. He'll get better of course but letting Skoula go and giving Kulikov the last spot was an amateur move.
Allen - 7/10 - Quietly solid although his shots tend to miss the net by 10 or more feet.

Horton - 8/10 - Almost a point a game, can't expect much more, I'd give him a 9 but he still doesn't have the ability to control a game.

Weiss - 8/10 - See Horton.
Frolik - 7/10 - Sophmore slump? Dont think so, He's on pace to better his numbers from last year but like every other forward we have he isn't a difference maker.
Olesz - 7/10 - If I were to say at the beginning of the season that Olesz would get 20 this year would you consider that a success? I would, and he probably will get 20 but that doesnt change the fact that you wouldn't even know he was playing half the time.
Reinprecht - 7/10 - Despite that fact that he's only scored once in the last 400 games he's still on pace for good numbers (for him) and he's a +12!
Stillman - 7/10 - Solid when healthy, old news.
Dvorak - 7/10 - Solid player, can't score, story of his career.
Moore - 7/10 - Pretty creative, fits the system well and he probably enjoys the 3rd line company.
Campbell - 5/10 - Who? Oh ya the guy with 2 goals. Heart and soul guy.... with 2 goals.
Kreps - 4/10 - Not good enough for the nhl, he's just occupying a spot that a better player could have.
Oreskovich - 3/10 - He skates and hits but does literally nothing else, not good enough, see Kreps.
Matthias - ?/10 - Pete would have to play him first.

Thats it, the rest of the players havent played enough to be given fair ratings (cough Koistinen). My average forward rating was 6.36, thats pretty mediocre, thats also what we all predicted before the season began, mediocrity. We have no difference makers (in contact practice) who ever leave the blue paint, we're right up against the cap and we're 21-29 with most of our forwards over-acheiving, sigh.
