Elliotte Friedman reports that Keith Yandle’s situation in Florida is “something to watch”.
Aaron Ekblad has gotten the majority of the reps with the first powerplay unit in what has typically been Yandle’s spot. That brings the question: what is Yandle’s spot with the Panthers if he’s not getting first-unit powerplay time?
Yandle, 34, is in the fifth season of his seven year contract which carries a cap-hit of $6.35 million. If Florida is to trade him, they’ll likely need to take significant salary back.
