While the rest of the NHL is at the cottage or the beach, the Pucks and Palms Podcast is still hard at work. Dom Luszczyszyn of the Athletic joins me to talk about a piece he wrote a couple of weeks ago, exploring how the Panthers squeeze so much value out of their contracts, focusing on signing bonuses as well, which I touched on too in a separate piece. We also look at how the entire strategy has come together, the flaws of it, as well as some general offseason talk at the end of the show.Pucks

The big discussion about the Panthers as the regular season winds to a close is whether they were “tanking” to face a certain team in the playoffs or not.
