SUNRISE (CBSMiami) – The NHL season kicks off on Wednesday night with eight teams beginning their latest campaign to win the Stanley Cup.
The Florida Panthers’ season gets started on Saturday when they host the Philadelphia Flyers at the BB&T Center.
All NHL teams were required to submit their opening night rosters to the league by Tuesday afternoon.
The Panthers, who are expected to compete for a playoff spot, have a roster that is full of guys under the age of 25.
Those players are the future of the franchise, but as general manager Dale Tallon will tell you, the future is now.
