Jose Theodore's goal is to serve as the Panthers number one goaltender, but he knows that he'll have to earn the spot. Theodore will enter training camp as the Panthers' starter, but netminder Scott Clemmensen might be able to wrestle the job away from him as the season progresses. "If you want to play, you have to be the best guy," Theodore said. "If Scott Clemmensen outplays me, I expect him to play. If I play better, I expect to play." Theodore had a 2.71 GAA and .916 save percentage in 32 games with the Minnesota Wild last season.
