Forward-picture now with Coyle re-signed

Super encouraging to see Coyle get re-signed. I did not get a feel of how the mood could be in CBS or whether FAs would choose to re-sign there.

With Coyle re-signed, are we comfortable not re-signing the rest of the forward UFAs? I have to think that with Coyle staying in the top 6, and if we hypothetically let go of Jenner and Marchment, this could just bump up wingers Voronkov and Garland into more ice-time in the top 6? Also gives a chance and more ice-time to Kent Johnson to a better point pace?

I feel like the off-season (with Coyle now signed) is gonna be more about not getting completely shelled by shots (22nd worst in the league this past season in shots-against-per-GP). I otherwise like the Greaves/Elvis tandem as is.

Just thinking out loud

How would you address goaltending in the summer?

Wild take but I do wonder if the panthers would be tempted to just re-sign both current goalies?

I have to think Bob would make a decent backup even at his age, then start the playoffs. Tarasov's 895s% isn't all that bad when you consider the team's defensive game wobbling during Barkov's absence?

Otherwise, any goalies worth taking a look at (likely someone we'd have to trade for considering goalie free agency is pretty brutal this summer)?
