No Blockbuster, Just Harmlik

Jan Lapiolahti

GM, Florida Panthers

There was no blockbuster but Florida Panthers add an all-star dman to there lineup without losing anyone from there pro roster. Panthers acquired Roman Harmlik for Juraj Kolnik and Branislav Mezei.

"Yes the price was steep.. But neither of them would have cracked the Panthers lineup for years and Harmlik is one of my favorite dmen in the league" Panthers GM

Panthers defense is starting to look like an good core. Possible dman pairings

Mara-Harmlik
Morris-Zhitnik
Van Ryn-Witt/Staios

extra: Weinrich, Krajicek

It looks like Panthers will be forced to move one of there dmen. Most likely Derek Morris.
