SUNRISE, Fla. Brook Lopez Nets Jersey . - Gerard Gallant needed no sales pitch from the Florida Panthers. Hes aware that they have not
won a playoff series in nearly two decades, that they missed the playoffs by a
mile last season and that they change coaches on an all-too-regular basis. None
of that deterred him, either. "You look at their roster, you look at their team,
you look at their core players," Gallant said. "I think its a great opportunity
and Im looking forward to working with this hockey club." He now has that
chance, after being introduced as the 13th coach in Panthers history and the
teams eighth bench boss since 2003. Gallant hasnt been an NHL head coach since
2006, but has plenty of experience as an assistant and a very successful stint
as the head coach of the Saint John Sea Dogs in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey
League. His best player there was current Panthers winger Jonathan Huberdeau,
whos considered a key part of Floridas plan to turn things around. "Of course I
was excited to hear that news," Huberdeau said of his reaction to Gallants
hiring. "Gerard has been a great coach for me. He taught me a lot of stuff when
I was in juniors and its because of him that Im in the NHL right now." When
Gallant and Huberdeau were paired in juniors, their team won just about every
night, or so it seemed. No ones expecting that in Florida, but some parallels
will exist from that team and now, Gallant said. "Jonathans a great kid,"
Gallant said. "I knew the kid for three years and we worked well together. Were
going to have 23 players who are going to work hard and compete." Panthers
general manager Dale Tallon called the search exhaustive, and the team was
linked to plenty of other candidates throughout the two-month process, most
notably the likes of Peter Laviolette, Barry Trotz and Dan Bylsma. When he met
with Gallant, Tallon expected him to be in a downtrodden mood — the first
interview was two days after the Montreal Canadiens, with whom Gallant was an
assistant coach the past two seasons, were eliminated from this years playoffs.
Instead, Gallant was high-energy, eager, excited. Tallon was impressed. "Ive
never heard a negative word said about Gerard Gallant in any capacity in
hockey," Tallon said. Its the start of a hectic time for Florida, which holds
the No. 1 pick in the upcoming NHL Draft — one they could trade away — and is
expected to be a busy player when free agency begins July 1. And Gallant knows
very well how quickly things can turn around. When he was hired in Montreal, the
Canadiens were coming off a season where they finished with the fewest points in
the East. With Gallant on the staff, the Canadiens won a division title in
2012-13, and topped the 100-point mark in the standings last season. The
Panthers would enjoy nothing more than him being part of a similar turnaround in
Florida. "The league is so close," Gallant said. "The teams are so close
together now." Bojan Bogdanovic Jersey . -- Samuel Henley scored twice, including the game winner, as the Val-dOr Foreurs doubled up the

agreed to minor league contracts with pitchers Jonathan Sanchez and
Tsuyoshi Wada and invited them to spring training. Sanchez, who threw a
no-hitter for San Francisco in 2009, struggled in five appearances with
Pittsburgh last season, finishing with an 11.85 ERA with eight walks in 13 2-3
innings. Wada played nine years with the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks of the Japanese
Pacific League before signing an $8. Bojan Bogdanovic Nets Jersey. 15 million, two-year contract with Baltimore before the 2012 season. He developed elbow
soreness that spring and had elbow-ligament reconstruction surgery after a tear
was discovered following a rehabilitation outing for Triple-A Norfolk. He made
19 starts for Norfolk last season. The Cubs also agreed to minor league deals
with pitcher Tommy Hottovy and outfielder Mitch Maier. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys Auston Matthews Maple leafs Jersey ' ' '
