- Mark Lazerus: “The 24-year-old Panik has nine goals and 16 assists through 33 games with the AHL’s Toronto Marlies. He has 19G and 20A in 151 NHL games.”
- Lance Hornby: “Panik never hit it off with Mike Babcock, but played well on the farm and had the OT winner today vs. Syracuse.”
- Platinum Seat Ghosts: “Jeremy Morin currently sits in 57th in the AHL in scoring. Has 22 points in 28 games.”
- Michael Augello: “Panik & Morin are 24 & RFA’s this summer. Panik scored 11G in 14/15, but failed to impress Babcock in training camp.”
- Jimmy Murphy: “Interesting trade with Hawks sending Morin to Leafs for Panik. Morin was in Saad deal. Is it bad sign he’s dealt twice in less than year?”
