NHL Trade Deadline: Florida Panthers

Filed under: , ,

Come inside the showroom. The cellar-dwelling Florida Panthers are selling and they have plenty of soon-to-be free agents that could be solid rentals, even if a few have some extra miles on them.

The Panthers also have plenty of unrestricted free agents at season's end, including Tomas Vokoun, the team's elite goalie who has carried them for long stretches during his four seasons in South Florida. (He's making $6.3 million this season, but a team would have to foot less than $1.5 million in prorated salary.) It could be hard to part with Vokoun with nobody behind him primed to take over between the pipes.

The other veterans set to become unrestricted free agents would be easy to let go, including forwards Cory Stillman, Radek Dvorak, Christopher Higgins and Marty Reasoner along with defenseman Bryan McCabe. But so far it's the players signed at least though the 2012-13 season -- forwards David Booth and Stephen Weiss -- that have reportedly been the most sought after by other clubs.
