Panthers Get Back to Work

May 25, 2009 - By

The Florida Panthers will open their annual development camp about an hour outside of Toronto next week at the Teen Ranch, it feels like it was just yesterday that we wrote about our visit to last years camp.

The camp is a great place for signed and unsigned prospects to get the chance to go through on and off ice workouts with NHL coaches and trainers.  At the camp they’ll cover everything related to the on ice game, strength and conditioning, and mainting a proper diet as well.

We last talked to the players in April when they cleaned out their lockers with the Rochester Americans and the last words were, “see you at camp.”

A list of players invited is expected prior to the start of camp on Friday, when I get it I’ll make sure to post it.

This will be the first chance this off season that players will get to make an impression hoping to get a spot on the Panthers lineup next season.

Shawn Matthias, Keaton Ellerby, Michael Caruso, and Tanner Glass are four players that expectations will be high on.  Matthias had a horrible rookie year in Rochester and is looking to [...]Read More

NHL.com Feature Story on Jacob Markstrom

December 11, 2008 - By

It’ll be interesting to see how the Panthers play out the goaltender situation they have brewing.  Jacob Markstrom was drafted 31st overall in 2008 by the Florida Panthers and has been making an impression this year in the Swedish Elite League with his improved play.

Many are expecting the Panthers to start shopping Vokoun around as a trade based on the way Craig Anderson has been out-playing Vokoun.  If that were to occur they would need another goalie in return to backup Anderson.  Vokoun is signed through 2010-2011 and is making $5.7 million a year.  Craig Anderson becomes an unrestricted free agent after this season.  The Panthers have Tyler Plante, David Shantz, Chris Beckford-Tseu and now Mike Brodeur in the system, none which are ready to get called up to the show.

Maybe we’ll see him here in Rochester next season?

Below is a feature article from NHL.com about the young goaltender.
