Yahoo Sports Under Bill Zito, Panthers no longer on the naughty list
Life has been pretty good around the Florida Panthers over the past few years.
Florida hired Bill Zito in September of 2020.
In the time since, things have been mostly coming up roses in South Florida.
But what about Zito has provided the magic touch for the Panthers?
His lifetime around the sport of hockey?
His longtime experience as a player agent?
His decades of work in an NHL front office?
Not to discredit any of that, but THN Florida may have this figured out.

That would certainly explain plenty of the Panthers success in recent seasons, but what about moving forward.
Comment below with what you think Zito should have asked Santa for this season.
Happy Holidays!
