The Florida Panthers are entering a transitional period as they consider selling players ahead of the trade deadline. Currently, the team finds itself 10 points away from a playoff position following a disappointing streak of three consecutive losses.
Panthers’ Shift to Sellers
According to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun, the Panthers are open to offers for their pending unrestricted free agents. This group notably includes star goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky and forward AJ Greer.

Bobrovsky, who led the Panthers to consecutive Stanley Cup titles in 2024 and 2025, is a highly respected player. He boasts two Vezina Trophies, awarded in 2013 and 2017, and has been selected as a first-team all-star twice.
