Tomáš Nosek

And they say goodbye to Sergei Brofky, as I mentioned earlier, Evan Rodriguez, Mackie, Sam Mikevich, AJ Greer, Daniel...

Daniel Tarasov, Tomas Nosek, Jesper Bodqvist, Noah Greger, and Vinny Henestrosa.

James, the Florida Panthers are looking to get back into their own playoff picture.

But again, a lot of injuries kind of set this team aside last season.

And then you'll have a different section of territory talk where Doug Plagans and, uh, Jameson Olive will also talk to them individually and release it in podcast form, uh, later on, probably do it separately as they've have done over, uh, the summer.

But, uh, Bill Zito, chances are he's going to be the one likely to kick it off when it comes to media day and also discuss some of the different injuries that are going on because when the Panthers released their training camp schedule last year, we saw Matthew Kachuk and Tomas Nosek on it, but we knew that Matthew Kachuk was – had an off-season surgery, as it was reported by David Pregnoda in late August.

So he was on the training camp roster, but we knew that he was going to miss a good amount of time.

And we did not know the injury at the time to Tomasz Nosek until just a few hours before Bill Zito took the podium to discuss the situation about an off-season injury that So much no sex suffered that really delayed his season and really wasn't the same after that, although he did was able to finish off that year for the Florida Panthers.

Like, I don't th- I think he'd already moved on from development staff when Nosek came through.

Oh, like Sandy Pellika, Edmondson, he doesn't get credit for those guys either?

No, I don't think so.

Matthew Kuchuk is also a left wing.

Jonas Siegenthaler isn't here anymore but we still have Garnett Hathaway, Tomas Nosek, and a bunch of other names.

Where does Marchand play?

Well, Paige, it's simple math.

Hathaway is gone? Wait, no, he's still on the list.

But Marchand is clearly the upgrade in terms of two-way responsibility.

If Marchand takes the fourth-line grinding role, you free up someone like Tomas Nosek to maybe move up or get traded.

It's a luxury problem, sure, but it's a real one.

Agreed.

And don't forget Tomas Nosek and Cole Reinhart.

They're veterans who know how to play in tight games.

Depth matters.

And then bringing in an experience of a player in, in Lars Eller, who's won a Stanley cup with the Washington capitals.

I mean, You saw that Tomas Nosek going into 2025 still hadn't necessarily proven himself in the NHL as far as a guy who could be on a long playoff run, although he did come in midway through the second round against Toronto and then really proved himself.

So there's more solidified roster spots despite coming out of a season where you're injured and bruised and not making the playoffs versus actually uh winning the first stanley cup championship

yeah and you know you have to feel great about you know the health of the team i mean obviously there's some guys that were still hopeful um that are healing and that will uh you know make an appearance later in the season like gajevich uh would love to see him you know his t-shirt is still around the arena and also in the practice rink with his tongue hanging out so um the team is set.

Well,

you're the guy that talked about Nosek last year when no one wanted to talk about it, and Nick hit the bell for Nick on that one.

That was in October, November last year you were telling us that.

Yeah.

And then you've got guys further down the lineup, like Gajevic missed 72 games.

Thomas Nosek missed 60 games.

Kulikov missed 60 games.

Um...
