Shawn Matthias intends to be Florida's top-line center in 2013-14. He is preparing to battle with Panthers' prospects Nick Bjugstad, Aleksander Barkov and Vincent Trocheck to retain a scoring line spot. Matthias would like to stay at center and not shift to the wing, but our guess is that he'd accept whatever role the coaching staff gives him. He signed a two-year contract worth $3.5 million this past July after recording 21 points in 48 games last season.
