Florida Panthers: Should Dale Tallon Make Another Acquisition on Defense?
Heading into the key months of the 2019 NHL offseason, Florida Panthers General Manager Dale Tallon should look to bring in another capable defenseman.
The reason for that is simple, there wasn’t a lot of capable defense on hand last season. Florida finished the 2018-19 season allowing 3.33 goals per game, fourth-highest in the NHL. They also faced a hair under 31 shots per game.
This was a huge step down from the 2017-18 season when the team only gave up 2.96 goals per game. Even that wasn’t great, standing at 16th worst in the NHL; middle of the pack, but not where a playoff team should be.
