SPRINT TO THE DEADLINE: Bill ZIto could possibly face some "uncomfortable" trade deadline decisions

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is here with Jacob Winans(@JakeW_8) discuss the adjustment with life after the Olympics as the Panthers will be back in action on Thursday against Toronto. Yes, there are 25 games left, but the true direction of the Panthers will be decided in these next five games before the March 6th trade deadline. There's a bit of noise from national personalities speculating what the Panthers could do with Panthers G Sergei Bobrovsky. Could the Panthers actually pull the trigger on a trade sending the goaltender that won them two Stanley Cup championships elsewhere as his contract is set to expire this offseason with the Cats salary cap health not being being in a great place? Aleksander Barkov was honored at Joe Dimagio Children's Hospital as he made another donation, and have also named a certain area out of him. With him getting some time on the ice, Bill Zito has shut the door on the possibility of season-ending LTIR'ing him, which does not come as a surprise in the case the Panthers miraculously make the postseason? How much gas do the Panthers have left in the tank? Because there also may be a scenario where Brad Marchand does not finish the season, so Florida could get some cap relief because of the fact that there are other guys who are making their way back and could be in the lineup as soon as their first road trip to begin the month of March. How much of a boost will it be to have guys who play extended roles be? We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.
