Episode Details

The Panthers are back at the NHL draft without a first-round pick—but they’re not missing a beat. With two solid second-round selections, including Washington’s pick, they’re targeting late-first-round talent and continuing their knack for finding gems later in the draft. Since Bill Zito took over, eight post-first-round picks have made it to the NHL, including key contributors from last season. Despite skipping the top tier for years, Florida’s smart trades and player development have built a championship-caliber roster. Their strategy? Keep trusting the process—and this year’s draft could bring another wave of impact players.
