Caught a little blurb from Barry Jackson’s sports buzz column this morning. Very rarely does Barry drop any Panthers news on us but he does reveal that Jay Bo was offered a long term deal by Panthers management which he balked at. It appears he is contempt with playing on a one year deal and moving on as it seems he does not want to stay in Florida. From the Buzz…

The Panthers offered defenseman Jay Bouwmeester more than $5 million annually in a multiyear deal but have doubts if he wants to play here long-term. His agent said he’s preparing for a July 29 arbitration hearing, and he then would be an unrestricted free agent next summer.

Honestly. I would get as far away from this organization if I were any free agent as they have proved time and time again that they are inept at making proper personnel decisions and front office decisions.
