Generation Next
Michal Repik, RW, 20
Repik excelled in his first pro season. He led Rochester in points and finished second in goals and assists. The shifty winger joined Florida for five games and netted a pair of goals during the stint. His speed, hands and clutch ability make him a top candidate to grab a spot on the Panthers opening roster.

HurricaneBrian8 says:
"I don't quite understand why so many people are way down on the Panthers this year. They have almost exactly the same team, take away Bouwmeester and replace him with Leopold. I thought Bouw was really good, but not the irreplacable part he's been made out to be, where we will miss him most is on the power play, I think, but McCabe does well there too, when he's healthy of course."
