The prices are high. Florida Panthers Prize?

The Florida Panthers have maneuvered a NHL trade period, where the few teams sold to achieve high prices.

On Wednesday, the Panthers did their second Trade of Deadline season and got what they needed without giving up.

Florida wanted a strong backup goalkeeper after sending Spencer Knight to Chicago for Seth Jones In one of the early (just Saturday) blockbusters.

The Panthers took off Wednesday Vitek Vanecek From the San Jose Haie for Patrick GilesA naughty free agent on the Boston College, which the Panthers 2022 signed.

Giles had a strong training camp and gave his NHL debut with the Panthers on October 12th.

He played in nine games before he was returned as Tomas Nosek was activated by LTIR before the games in Finland.

Vanecek gives the panthers an insurance company behind it Sergei Bobrovsky After winning 33 games with the Devils two seasons before and took two starts for the capitals against Florida in the 2022 playoffs.

He is 94-52-20 with 2.82/.903 throughout his career.

The Panthers will probably start against the falling Buffalo Sabres on Saturday.

Coincidentally, Vanecek should start against Buffalo on Tuesday, but San Jose endured him for trade purposes.

If the Panthers want to do more shops before Friday at 3 p.m. NHL period, they will probably be more like this.

Florida once has about 6 million US dollars below the salary limit Chris Driedger Is returned to Charlotte, so Cap Space is not a problem.

But money does not help you achieve offers for the NHL trade period.

With a conditional (2026 or 2027) The first choice in the first round to the Blackhawks, Florida, has had no selection in the first round since took Mackie Samoskevich In 2021 – and only at least 2027.

This year Calgary will receive Florida's first choice as part of the Trade 2022 for Matthew Tkachuk; It is a top 10-projection selection, which means that Florida is currently currently a selection of 2026 or 2027 due to a technical selection on the first round.

Since Calgary Florida's selection would be in the first round in the first round if the Panthers fall out of the playoffs this season and rise in the lottery, Florida has to hold this selection, only in the event that the soil falls completely out of its season And It moves up in the lottery.

No, it won't happen.

But technically it could.

This means that Florida's selection of 2026 in the first round will be spoken at the moment-the flames will not get them-which means that the selection of 2027 is just as good because Chicago would get it if Calgary ends with the selection of 2026.

Anyway …

For trade purposes, the Panthers only have a first round in 2028 to move.

Tampa Bay gave Seattle two picks in the first round (2026, 2027) on Wednesday Yanni Gourde and bring in Oliver Bjorkstrand.

The Panthers simply don't have the type of design of capital to play for what is paid out in this trading cycle.

Of course, the panthers are known as creative when it comes to building their list.

They signed a few weeks ago Jesse Puljujarvi In a small league contract to see if things would work.

On Wednesday, they signed it to an NHL deal and if he enforces the signs of disposal for the third time this season, he will be part of the Panthers-his lights until Friday afternoon when the 23-man squad is expanding after the end of the trading period.

From Wednesday evening, the Panthers have 22 players, including Driedger. The team would like to have as many empty slots as possible to go to the deadline.

The only Florida players who could be assigned to the AHL without having to go through the exception are Samoskevich, dryer and puljujarvi (as soon as he is free on Thursday).

So what do the panthers have to move?

The Panthers were of course able to act on their NHL squad, but GM Bill Zito and coach Paul Maurice It doesn't happen how what you have.

As far as the prospects are concerned, the Panthers have some players in Charlotte and in the junior hockey, in which other teams are interested – as was the case with Giles and the sharks.

The Panthers also have negotiating rights at the University of Denver Forward Jack Devinewho did not sign with the team and returned for his final year to repeat himself as a national champion.

Devine's share in the seventh round in 2022 rose in college during an outstanding career.

Devine took seventh place in the nation last season and is currently the top scorer in college hockey with 48 points in 34 games in 34 games.

The three-way trade on Tuesday in which Edmonton received Trent Frederic From Boston via New Jersey, the negotiation rights on two non -signed designs included, including the captain of Boston University Shane Lakance Who went to the devils.

Devine could be a free agent if he did not sign the Panthers after his last year.

Zito said Fhn in summer that they have a good relationship with Devine and that he should sign with the team.

The Panthers are expected to repeat a draft of capital by enabling business for other teams by maintaining money.

Florida did this in 2022, as Aaron Ekblad was on LTIR, assuming 1.3 million US dollars of Max Domi Contract so that he could go to Carolina Hurricanes.

The Panthers added their additional CAP space this year to this year by introducing them Robert Hagg For a sixth round.

So expect the panthers to be active as the deadline ends at 3 p.m.

You may be for players whose names you have to google – or big names that go to other teams.
