The Florida Panthers came very close, but ultimately couldn't win the cup this season. Unfortunately, the effect of their deep run will leave one player in surgery.
Montour Out Long-Term
Brandon Montour, who emerged as a true top-pairing defenseman in these playoffs, will reportedly miss three months recovering from a needed surgery on his shoulder.
It was a career season with many franchise records set by
@FlaPanthers
Stud D Montour. I'm told he played with torn labrum in his shoulder, likely needs surgery and could be out 3 months.

Three months lines up essentially with the beginning of the season. We will see if Montour will return for opening night to fight for another title.
