Last season's blockbuster Matthew Tkachuk trade bears re-examination, writes PierreVLeBrun. Despite early skepticism, GM Bill Zito saw the bigger picture, that the younger Tkachuk could be a huge piece for the Panthers for a long time.
But this summer will be a different story. The Yandle cap charge goes down to $1.2 million. Pending unrestricted free agentand his $5.3 million average annual value come off the books. There’s more breathing room and the ability to tweak the roster again.
It’s already a home run deal for Zito by any measure. It was a gutsy move, one that had no guarantees, but you don’t build championship teams by being timid. You have to swing for the fences sometimes. Now the pressure is on Zito again this summer to further upgrade the roster. A blue-line addition is at the top of the list, I would imagine. The Panthers finished 21st in goals against this season, worst among the 16 playoff participants. Adding a top-four defenseman is a must.As the Flames decompress after their playoff miss, we await word on what will happen with Treliving, whose contract expires June 30.
