It's been a decade since the Florida Panthers have made the playoffs, and it doesn't look any better this offseason. Tomas Vokoun had an off year by his standards, but given the talent in front of him, even the best can't overcome that. He is likely playing elsewhere next year, since Jakob Markstrom is knocking on the door to start. Michael Frolik put up decent numbers before being traded to Chicago at the trade deadline. He continued that good scoring pace when the playoffs rolled around until the team's elimination in seven games. And the award to most boneheaded move goes to the Panthers for sending Michael Grabner down to the minors, only to have the New York Islanders claim him before he could clear waivers. All Grabner did was score 30+ goals for an Islanders team that has a future ahead...if they can clear their back end situation.
