POTENTIAL PAIRINGS
Brian Campbell – Ed Jovanovski
Erik Gudbranson – Dmitry Kulikov
Gudbranson and Kulikov are a future top pairing, but as of right now the undersized but skilled Campbell and the aging Jovanovski will still have to carry the load. The Panthers don’t really have a “can’t miss” prospect in the system other than Gudbranson, so the prospects for a quick improvement in this area are slim.
