Florida Panthers held a private, photo‑ready ring ceremony for back‑to‑back champions, with Seth Jones the first player to receive his ring after joining mid‑season, because the club insists everyone could open their boxes together. The moment stitched together nine figures into one story—the rise of a new piece joining a champion core.

The rings sparkle with more than 250 diamonds and rubies, and engravings honor the team’s identity with the line from Tkachuk and Bennett—apologize to no one for the Panthers being the Panthers—inside the band. Sides display each player’s name and number, the logo, and back‑to‑back champions text. A banner raise awaits Tuesday as the Panthers shift from celebration to title defense.

Barkov’s hardware—Selke and King Clancy—sits near the Stanley Cup, while Bennett earned the Conn Smythe. Edmonton rematches and Hall of Fame duties line the schedule as coach Paul Maurice presses the present, steering the club toward another quest and keeping the focus off nostalgia.

Florida Panthers celebrated another championship with a private ring ceremony, then set the page for a title defense and a banner-raising night against Chicago. The club leans on Barkov, Bennett, and Tkachuk to pace offense, while Seth Jones provides midseason depth and stability on a reshaped blueline. Edmonton rematches and playoff memory loom as early tests for the defending champs, making daily routines and goaltending consistency critical for fantasy managers tracking this core.

For fantasy, watch Jones’s integration and how lines/PP1 minutes shake out, alongside ongoing production from the big trio. The mood is confident, but the schedule and rematches could create tactical shifts that affect scoring rates and volume across the Panthers’ top players as they chase another deep run.
