Episode Notes

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is here with Nich Fairbanks(@Prudentia0) to discuss Captain Aleksander Barkov returning to the ice with Team Finland as we are a week away from the World Championships beginning in Zurich Switzerland, and 224 day from the time he went down in training to Thursday, Barkov showed how he has beat the odds regarding the ability to recover from his injury. Matthew Tkachuk announced on the Wingmen Pod earlier this week that he will in fact head to World Championships, but after the initial roster announcement, is it right place at the wrong time for Chucky? He is the only player from the Olympic roster who is on the USA team, so his chances at the Triple Gold Club looks low at the moment. Lastly, the two discuss what the draft lottery odds would be if the NHL adopted the Gold Plan rule from the PWHL to discourage teams from tanking the rest of the season once eliminate, do the two have faith that the league will actually adopt this? We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.
