Once more, 37, first poll Hockey Corridor of Famer.

George Richards: “Yeah, that, that’s the basic consensus, proper? I imply, are you able to see proper now, at this level in his profession, Sergei Bobrovsky enjoying anyplace else however right here? And the reply is not any. Florida’s bought a ton of wage cap cash subsequent yr, as each workforce does, in order that’s not going to be an issue with the ability to match him beneath the cap or something of the type.
It looks as if Sergei Bobrovsky is a part of the material right here with the Florida Panthers. And his household loves residing right here. He loves residing right here.

Actually, that you simply neglect that it’s the final yr of his contract, as a result of that contract was so lengthy, proper when he signed it, it’s laborious to consider that that is it. However yeah, he’ll be again.”
NHLRumors.com Word: The query is when Sergei Bobrovsky and the Florida Panthers signal a brand new extension.
