Krys Barch Wants to Return to Panthers

“I know my role. I’m a top-5 heavyweight in the league. I fought them all,” said Barch, who’s second on the team with 99 penalty minutes, mostly coming from his team-leading 13 majors or fights.

“I’m better than them all. The game is more physical. Look at the Bruins, St. Louis, the teams out west. All big and tough. I’ve got a great relationship with [management] and with the new ownership and their military background, I’m all for that.”
