Sounds great but the Panthers begin in October. How King plans to manage all of this remains to be seen.

Fair but hockey season runs much longer. Panthers should be really good again this year so probably will be heavily promoted closer to postseason.

Just like the professional players do it.

True. Pretty sure he already has his degree so he shouldn’t have to go to class like other players.

I'll go to a panther game now, just to support their decision with King.

Bought 80 tix to the Flyers/Panthers game in Philly in October. I'm an Avs fan so I was indifferent, but now **** the Flyers lol.

IN EARLY WIRH BREAKING NEWS:

King making career change, scheduled to be announced as Panther's next Centre* at press conference, today, 3pm EST

*see what I did there, eh?

King will soon speak about Miami as an "organ-i-zation" and rave about the chemistry in the "dressing room".

Puck vernacular humor aside, these type of endorsements are almost certainly not as lucrative as a money transfer app or bitcoin outfit just handing kids big dollars but they probably provide much more polish to a kid like King on the marketing front if he's successful and has these opportunities on the next level.

One would think that once a kid hits the NFL it's going to be far less about a CashApp type of outfit trying to find a way to give a kid money with no real expectations in return and more about "real" businesses/corporations/etc. wanting to have legitimate endorsement relationships.

You really showed those Flyers by giving them 80 tickets worth of revenue

80 tixs? Holy ****, Baba!!

My beer league team is doing a promotion where you sell a ****-ton of tix and you get an hour of ice after the game in return. Got lower level in the corner behind the visitors net, much cheaper than what they're going for on StubHub or anywhere else.

Going to be a sad day when he leaves...........at least he will go out a winner after we body in our bowl game......setting up for the rise of UM baby

They'd probably survive with or without my patronage, but I'd go watch any two teams if I had the chance. Live hockey is so much better than watching on TV. We're also going as a big group and most of the boys are Eastern Conference fans. Flyers, Caps, Pens & Devils. I grew up a Roy fanboy so when he was traded to Colorado I followed him.

Would love to tell your group "Raise your hands if you ever saw your team actually win a Cup."

I derive strength from the sadness of Flyers fans.
