Out of the blue, the Florida Panthers parted ways with a key member on the organization’s front office. Shortly after conquering back-to-back Stanley Cups, the move showcases Bill Zito and the franchise’s pursuit for excellence in every aspect in the NHL.
The Panthers may have run into trouble in paradise after hoisting the team’s second Stanley Cup back in June. Now, Zito and company will be without a key name within the brass in Sunrise, Florida. However, just like with the key departures on the roster, it seems the Cats in Broward County always manage to land on their feet.
As reported by The Hockey News, the Panthers have parted ways with Chief Operating Officer (COO) Bryce Hollweg. Hollweg had been in Florida since 2021, when he arrived as Executive Vice-President.
Moving on
While a big absence, the Panthers know better than to cry over spilled milk. What’s done is done. That has definitely been a recurring thought for the Cats, who are always looking forward.

Even after consecutive Stanley Cup conquests, the Panthers in the Sunshine State have set their sights ahead. Now, it’s about going for the three-peat. On paper, Florida is in the best position to complete the trifecta. The rest of the NHL is hoping to dethrone the Cardiac Cats in Sunrise, but that’s a task much easier said than done.

And as it couldn’t have been any other way, another player with a Columbus Blue Jackets background has now joined the reigning champs.
