NHL 27 rankings are out, who is expected to rise? Panthers ready in case Barkov misses time?

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) and Jacob Winans(@JakeW_8) discuss the NHL 27 individual rankings for the Top 10 Panthers players. Multiple players dropped, but whose ranking will rise as the season goes on? NHL Network and NHL.com released their Top 20 center rankings. Despite Aleskander Barkov missing the entire 2026-27 season, he still made the top 5, only dropping one spot. What do the guys think of this? Barkov has missed multiple stints, but never anything long term like last year. Panthers have faired well in times when he's missed short stints, but how well will they be prepared for if/when it happens again? We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.
