Panthers Reportedly Accepting Being Bad - Which Isn't Good for the Blackhawks - Bleacher Nation
"The Panthers lost again last night and my understanding is they've made the decision to be sellers as far as listening on pending UFAs, which most notably include the likes of AJ. Greer and Sergei Bobrovsky. Bobrovsky has a 16-team no-trade list. Doesn't mean he will be dealt..."
"After the Olympics came to a close, there was speculation that a couple important members of the Florida Panthers - Matthew Tkachuk and Brad Marchand - might be coming home at less than 100 percent. And might need to get some work done. Which... might impact the Panthers' willingness to make moves before the trade deadline to chase a third straight Stanley Cup championship."
The Florida Panthers, defending Stanley Cup champions, have decided to become sellers ahead of the trade deadline following a disappointing stretch. After losing their third consecutive game, the team sits 2-8-0 in their last ten games and ten points out of a wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. Injuries to key players Matthew Tkachuk and Brad Marchand following the Olympics may have influenced the organization's decision to abandon their championship chase. The Panthers are now listening to offers on pending unrestricted free agents, notably including goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, who carries a 16-team no-trade clause, and forward AJ Greer. This shift to a seller's approach has downstream implications for other teams, particularly the Chicago Blackhawks, whose first-round pick from the Seth Jones trade is top-ten protected in 2026.
