2. 4 skaters from Los Angeles made it, should coaches try to keep them together or would you want to see things mixed up more? (200+ words +4 TPE)

The Panthers have an extremely deep roster and 6 players ended up making the all star team this season, Adam Prpich, Derek Martin, Alexi Piastri, Elena Maximova, Rasmus Bergling, and Grzegorz Brzeczyszczykiewicz. This is just the tip of the iceberg for a roster that features elite SHL players throughout the lineup. Not only are they talented, the roster gelled last season and ended up winning the President's trophy during the regular season, only to follow that up with a Challenge Cup championship run in which they knocked out the top 3 other teams in the SHL. In my opinion, there's no reason to break up such an excellent group of players, and it appears that management feels the same way as they have worked hard to lock up the teams core players to contract extensions. While some of the clubs elite players may not be as quick as they were a few seasons ago, there's no sign in a drop off in production and the results have been everything that a team could hope for. I believe that the current group of players on the Panthers could be championship contenders for at least a few more seasons. Even after some if the teams current all stars move on, there will be players waiting to step up and take on more prominent roles for the team.
