OK, now that my computer is up and working again, here are some leftovers from today's media day in Sunrise:
-- Mike Santos says a deal with Erik Gudbranson will get done eventually and he's not worried about it coming together.
He says both the Panthers and Gudbranson's agent have been busy with other things.
Gudbranson will be here for next week's development camp.
-- The Panthers will have different looking road jerseys next season, although it sounds like they will look a lot like their old ones. They will be white with red on the shoulders. The yellow piping down the front is gone though.
-- I had a post yesterday regarding Saturday's benefit for longtime Panthers fan/season ticket holder Sarah Silva which is being held at the Pompano Beach Bru's Room.
The Panthers generously donated a team signed jersey as well as a red draft cap signed by all nine of the new free agents who were there today. Come on by tomorrow to get a chance to win.
From what I read, Deboer who was in the running for an assistant coaching job in Detroit wasn't hired. With his strong personality, I didn't think he would be a good mesh in Detroit alongisde a coach who also has a strong demeanor.
I hope Pete does get another coaching gig, because I do believe he deserves one. He took a team that was not very good and made us competitive night in and night out, even if we weren't a playoff team.

So, George, who do you think will be the next Panthers captain? Me thinks JovoCop!
