As part of my contributions to Puck Prospectus, the group of writers over there have put together a team-by-team preview of every NHL team’s biggest need and the best way to fix that suggested need over at ESPN.com.

Today, my contributions of Washington, Carolina and Florida have been posted at ESPN.  I split the Southeast Division responsibilities with Gabriel Desjardins (Behind the Net), and figured I’d link over to each of the five team reports we put together.

Note 1: ESPN Insider is required to read these reports.

Here are the team reports:

Atlanta Thrashers

Carolina Hurricanes

Florida Panthers

Tampa Bay Lightning

Washington Capitals

Richard Pollock
