The Panthers earned the best odds in the lottery giving up a league-high 171 goals and scoring the second fewest. They only won 15 times.

Considering they are last in the league in goals per game and last in the league in goals against, they really can't go wrong with the No. 1 or No. 2 overall pick. But they need the D, Seth Jones.

Welcome back to the basement, Panthers. They became the first team to be disqualified from the postseason over the weekend, meaning their time as defending division champs lasted just 41 games. The best plan is to keep this NHL-worst mark for the lotto.

You know, this team is actually not playing terrible hockey at the moment. Shawn Matthias is the hottest player nobody is talking about (11 goals in 16 March games) and Jacob Markstrom is showing why he's so hyped.

Was that a pulse we saw this week? Why yes, yes it was but it disappeared quickly again. Still, they're buried at the bottom of the NHL standings.
03/18/20133030
The Panthers have given up 109 goals. The closest to that terrible total? The Isles with 91. They are running away with the top lottery odds but seeing how this year is going, I'm sure they'll lose it anyway.

They're injured, yes, but hoo boy, are they bad. It was a bad week but nothing was worse than the 7-1 beatdown at the hands of the Caps.

They take over the basement from the Jackets. Why? Well there's probably something about those league-worst 82 goals given up so far, that league-worst minus-27 (next worst is minus-17) and the three-game losing streak ... Seth Jones would look awfully good on that blue line.
02/25/20132829
Their minus-23 is easily worst in the league. Perhaps it's why they've only won 2 of 10 ... They should trade Stephen Weiss now. Play the kids, see the future. They have started with Jonathan Huberdeau, Jacob Markstrom and Drew Shore.
02/18/20132929
They have points in seven of their last eight games. They also lost five of their last eight, including blowing two 5-3 third-period leads. The defense/goaltending is miserable.

They won the Southeast last season, but they still have a gaping hole in scoring. Rookie Jonathan Huberdeau should help, but does anybody really think Alexei Kovalev and Marek Svatos are the answer? Well, they should at least be better in shootouts.
