Florida has won twice in the last three years, so a Cup win in 2027 would add their name to the official list of dynasties.

Recent 'dynasties' are wimps.
They wont even get out of round 1
I believe the Panthers will win it.
I think the Panthers will get back to the playoffs
Honestly would like to see them win just to spite the Sens
I've seen the argument and I kind of agree with it that there are only two dynasties in North American sports: the Yankees in baseball and the Canadiens in hockey. A team can run off a nice 5-7 span and win a bunch of championships and then become nothing for decades, like the Islanders and Edmonton, but the Habs and Yankees dominated their sports for decades and for multiple generations of players. From 1936-62, the Yankees won 16 championships in 27 years and lost four more times in the World Series, making 20 of 27 years they were in the championship. Between 1956-1979, the Habs won 15 championships in 24 years. Now those are dynasties.
Goaltending really isn't there imo. I don't think Markstrom is the guy
I think the fact they will start the season in Carolina to see the Cup on the other side of the ice is gonna start a fire that may have them go on a tear say the first 10-20 games. Health is obviously the biggest factor across the board. Markstrom, I know has an injury history and that did play into his down year. He almost stole that quarter final game against the Americans in the Olympics. Schmid also has a chance to be the established back up and we all know what he did to the Rangers a few years back in the playoffs. I think they’re gonna be better than most would give them credit for.
The Biggest Question is whether or not the NHL will allow them to Goon their way to another title and the Goaltending.
Have to win 3 straight so no
Bet they miss the playoffs
They should be called Shadynastys
It's too early. They are literally an X factor where they could either be a cup contender or miss the playoffs again. lol
For example, even if Barkov's healthy, they still don't have Brobovsky in net. Their goalie situation is questionable at this point. I don't know if I feel safe to assume to call them a contender at this point. They still have a chance of course, but it's more of they have a chance… provided they make the playoffs to begin with….
Florida's success is ultimately tied to how good Markstrom is going to be. If he's going to shit the bed every other game, odds of Florida making playoffs are low
I consider the Blackhawks a Dynasty despite never being a Blackhawks fan since it was 3 Cups in 5 Years
In my opinion, it’s Carolina or the Panthers. In the west, I predict Vegas will beat Colorado again.
I don't think last year was a fluke. I have Florida finishing 6th and missing the playoffs.
Would be more effective than ipecac
aside from goaltending, on paper, im not sure ive ever seen a higher profile assembled team.
Goalie is difference maker. They chose wrongly.
I say no. Goaltending
That's not physically possible for the Panthers to become a dynasty in 2027. 2028 would be the earliest, IF they win the next two years. When you know, you know
Panthers play the canes for the first game of the regular season. that'll be fun
Yes
The Cats vs. the Caps promises to be a classic cage-match. Every. Single. Time. That very well could be the real Stanley Cup this year. That's right. I went there. Pre-pop the corn.

Didn't check the AI on the schedule, so your mileage may differ.
I don't see them as a top seed. They will conserve themselves to a degree in the regular season, but come playoff time it's game on. They are built for the style of hockey that matters most, playoff hockey.
