Owen Tippett
, the No. 10 pick in the 2017 NHL Draft, is back for his second training camp and faces a tough battle to earn a roster spot. He has made strides with his defensive play, but what he could bring to the Panthers is perhaps the best shot in the organization. He started last season with the Panthers and had one goal in seven games before being returned to his junior team, Mississauga of the Ontario Hockey League, where he scored 36 goals in 51 games. He finished the season with two points (one goal, one assist) in five games with Springfield of the American Hockey League.
