Can the Panthers really keep Ekblad, Bennett and Marchand? How it might work
Briefly

The Florida Panthers are focused on retaining crucial players Aaron Ekblad, Sam Bennett, and Brad Marchand, who were vital to their recent Stanley Cup championship. General manager Bill Zito must navigate the roster and salary cap challenges as all three players approach free agency on July 1. With $19 million available under the $95.5 million cap and a roster needing additional signings, Zito faces the task of balancing the retention of these stars while also addressing other team needs.
"Zito has said that there's a path to keeping all three on the roster. It likely won't be easy, but let's break down what that path might look like."
"The Panthers are currently $19 million under the $95.5 million salary cap with 16 players under contract - 10 forwards, five defensemen and one goaltender."
