General Manager Bill Zito initially maintained Sergei Bobrovsky as the starter and Spencer Knight as the future option. After trading for defenseman Seth Jones, the Panthers acquired goaltender Vitek Vanecek from the Sharks and demoted Chris Driedger. However, Zito continued to reshape the team, bringing in veteran Kaapo Kahkonen from the Jets. Despite the rapid changes, Vanecek expressed enthusiasm about joining a strong offensive and defensive team, aiming for a successful season ahead.
