RICHARD PANIK - Right Winger - 28 - $2.75MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2023-2024
LAST UPDATED 7/25/19
While Panik isn't quite the 20+20 scorer he was playing with captain Toews in Chicago, his performance on his own in Arizona suggests that Panik is a reliable middle-6 scoring winger. He plays a hard-nosed style and is able to utilize his big frame to create chances and space with the puck. He's not a playmaker, but he has underrated offensive instincts and can be relied on to create chances as often as he can finish them. Consistency is an issue for him, as is his lack of elite skating abilities. He should still pot ~15 goals and ~20 assists per season, which, as long as he's cheap, is good production coming from an offense-focused third line winger.
