Why Nathan Horton and Thomas Vokoun Should Fire Their Agents

Or the preview for

The Florida Panthers
The Panthers traded their Captain, hope for the future, all their scoring, and most genuinely exciting player Olli Jokinen. In return they received two solid stay at home defensemen in Nick Boynton and Keith Ballard. Ballard and Boynton are very good Defensemen, but they will only be on your fantasy radars for how they will help Vokoun's numbers... other than wins.

The Panthers only singnificant addition this offseason was Cory Stillman. When healthy and on a good team Stillman has been a high 60 low 70 point player. This however is not a great team. If you want to take a flyer on him I suppose someone has to do the scoring that Nathan Horton, David Booth and Stephen Weiss don't do, and maybe Cory is that guy. Just remember he's 34 and not playing with Eric Staal or Vincent Lecavalier for the first time since 2003.

Thats about all there is to say about the Panthers. While they have been relatively quiet, the next team has been anything but...
