Why Anton Lundell Could Be the Unexpected Game-Changer for the Florida Panthers This Season
NHL Rumors: Florida Panthers Want to Keep Sergei Bobrovsky
Lundell, who was drafted 12th overall by the Panthers in the 2020 NHL Draft, found a role playing third-line minutes behind Bennett and Barkov. It took him some time to adjust to the NHL. Don’t forget that was the COVID draft, so many of the young players lost development time; however, there was a belief that he could have played second-line center. That is why the Panthers drafted him.
His offensive ability has yet to be untapped by the Panthers. Though you saw glimpses last year in the playoffs, playing alongside Brad Marchand and Eetu Luostarinen. That was the best line in the playoffs, not only for the Panthers, but the entire league. They combined for 57 points (21 goals and 36 assists).
