They played too much playoff of hockey for the last few seasons and as result some leaders are injured, including Captain.
Even Tkachuk needs some off time from the hockey. Sure they are great team, but nothing is going to happen this season in my opinion.The two weeks off only benefits them get healthier and rested. Barkov is out right now however he might return soon. The Olympic schedule was still a rest for their Olympians compared to the regular schedule with less games, more down time and less ice time.
Of all the teams the Panthers are chasing, they have the easiest schedule. Boston has the most difficult. I don’t see them winning a Cup, but I’d give them at least a 50% chance of making the playoffs. They are chasing Buffalo and Boston, two teams they can beat down the stretch.

We will see it soon, but my feeling the want some good rest more than just playing one round of playoff hockey.Good chance the Panthers will miss playoffs this year, but Tampa looks like a real contender.
If it were anybody else, like the Leafs, I’d say the Panthers are done for, but this team isn’t your average team.
The core guys of this team were the same guys that manufactured a late season surge that saw them make the playoffs 3 years ago and went all the way to the Cup Finals. That team lost in the Final that year but they came back even stronger to be the back to back, defending Cup Champions who beat McDavid twice.
That team has proven time and time again that they will not quit, they will not give up. They are just now getting healthy and basically had almost two weeks off. Their star players are either Gold or Silver medalists and their goalie wasn’t allowed to participate so I’d wager he absolutely has something to prove.
Tampa Bay is definitely the front runner in the East but this Panther team can’t be counted out until it’s proven otherwise.

I would like them to just trade any players to Edmonton to help Mcdavid win a cup. whoever they think will help.
Just not another stinky US team like FloridaGood chance the Panthers will miss playoffs this year, but Tampa looks like a real contender.
Both teams have no pressure to win anymore, it is fun game to watch.
Play good to attract the attention of a good team tho?
Otherwise I totally get why you’re saying
If some of them has aspiration to win something with another team then yes.
And Roy finally scores lol 👍👍👍

👍👍👍👍👍
time to open up the lines of communications with other GMs on Leafs players …..
The have to clean house first.
The Leafs can play like this for another 60 minutes without scoring a single goal.
With a PP for 60 minutes and they still might not score a goal or win this game.
Steve Sullivan that PP genius…
I believe not any coach can succeed with this group of players.
Some will do better, but not nearly good enough.Go Leafs Go!!! 👍👍👍
Go Leafs!!!
This team is not going to make the playoffs by desperately hanging on for loser points. Problem is they probably aren’t good enough to take the game to the teams above them in the standings on a consistent basis.
I was in Scotia Bank Arena yesterday. It was not bad games, but this team is not good enough to compete on highest level.
