Unveiled: The Shocking NHL Centers Rankings That Could Reshape the Playoff Race
8. Florida Panthers
Current quality: 61st percentile
Looking for: Middle-six center
While there’s a good chance that Sam Bennett will remain a Panther, he’s not signed yet, so it’s worth looking at where the Panthers stand with and without him.
Without him, the Panthers will probably be fine thanks to having a succession plan in line with Anton Lundell. That’s an advantage that other teams with 2Cs hanging in the balance don’t have. Lundell should have no trouble moving up the lineup and already looks 2C-worthy at age 23. That means the Panthers only need to find a middle-six center to fill the void, and not a true 2C — a much easier job.
