"My head's scratching, I can't believe they haven't got a deal done for him to stay in Florida at this point." That's what insider Kevin Weekes had to say about Panthers' icon Sergei Bobrovsky on TSN's Trade Centre Friday morning. The 37-year-old netminding legend has two Vezina Trophies and has backboned the Panthers' two Stanley Cup runs, but he's a pending unrestricted free agent, and there appears to be no deal on an extension in sight. That means a stunning trade could be coming tod...

The Sergei Bobrovsky sweepstakes are coming to an end soon, as the Florida Panthers have been involved in trade talks with a number of teams over the last few days. The Panthers are selling and are open to moving their veteran goaltender, after contract extension talks haven't gone as planned. Bobrovsky's in the final season of his current deal, earning $10 million AAV, and owns a 16-team no-trade list. With his Stanley Cup pedigree and decorated resume, Bobrovsky is easily the best goaltender...

Two days before March 6th’s trade deadline, the Panthers have a 30-28-3 record for 63 points. Right…
Vegas Golden Knights are a team to watch leading up to Friday afternoon's trade deadline, as they're in talks with multiple teams to acquire a new starting goaltender.

Florida Panthers general manager Bill Zito is listening to trade offers ahead of Friday's deadline, as the organization has decided to be sellers ahead of the trade deadline. TSN's Pierre LeBrun reports the Panthers have a couple of pending free-agents who teams are interested in, and a move, or two, could be coming within the next 48 hours.

The Lightning’s 7-0 loss to the Florida Panthers in the final game of the preseason will probably be best remembered for a player assisting on a goal after he was kicked out of the game. Niko Mikkola was originally granted an assist on a goal in the third period before everyone realized he wasn’t even supposed to be playing since he had received a game-misconduct earlier in the penalty-filled contest. The goal was taken off the board and the Panthers had to be content with the 7-0 win.
