Zito’s Cap Magic: Panthers’ Core Locked In

Panthers fans, how about GM Bill Zito pulling off a salary cap masterclass? With the Cup champs facing free agency for Sam “Playoff Beast” Bennett, Brad “Pest” Marchand, and Aaron Ekblad, Zito somehow kept the whole core in Sunrise—despite a brutal cap crunch. On Pat McAfee’s show, Zito admitted it’s gonna be tight, but with the cap rising and the core locked up till 2030, the Cats are primed for a three-peat run. Did Zito just out-GM the league? #Sports #IceHockey #Panthers
