Florida Panthers looking for a high-profile defenseman on a short-term deal

With the draft and free agency just around the corner, Daily Faceoff’s own insider Frank Seravalli had some more rumours to throw our way on what to expect in the upcoming offseason with Ice Breakers, including how the Florida Panthers may be on the market for a couple of big-name defensemen in buy-low scenarios to offset the injuries to Aaron Ekblad and Brandon Montour to start the season.They’d like to be aggressive.

So yes, they have some contracts coming off the books like a Patric Hornqvist and some dead cap space as well that will provide the Cats with some fresh cap space to go out and acquire a couple players, and/or try and bring in players on the free agent market, but nonetheless, they can’t go out and spend that money for Ekblad and Montour for instance because they know that they need to account for them early into next season.

And on top of that, I think they’re going to try and convince a couple defensemen.

Maybe get one of those guys, see if you can convince them to play on a short-term, short-money deal to step into the Panthers lineup, and as mentioned with Ekblad and Montour out, get a chance on the power play to start the year, and really go after some of those guys to see if they can make some smart moves in that sense to improve their D-core, because I think that’s really the push.
