The Florida Panthers look to be moving forward while the Boston Bruins are not. What are their fantasy outlooks?

While four teams remain in the long battle for the Stanley Cup, everyone else has been eliminated and has begun their offseason. Even though each team will undergo many changes this summer, we can still look at their rosters and get an indication of things to come next year.  As we continue our march through the Eastern Conference starting from the bottom, today we will take a look at the Florida Panthers and the Boston Bruins.

Florida Panthers

The Panthers put up a good fight for most of the year before falling short of a playoff spot. By their own standards this was a strong season considering they have only made the playoffs four times since entering the league in 1993. Over the last few years the Panthers have assembled an impressive group of young players which is starting to pay off as the team posted a 25-point improvement from the 66 points they achieved in 2013-14.

A good portion of the team's long-term success will be tied to the emergence of their young centers, mainly Aleksander Barkov and Nick Bjugstad. The duo has been afforded good ice time in favorable situations and despite occasional struggles, they appear to be on the right track. One area that will need improvement from these two is playmaking as the duo combined for just 39 assists. No doubt this hurts the goal totals of their wingers.
