The Florida Panthers have strengthened their goaltending roster by acquiring 26-year-old Daniil Tarasov from the Columbus Blue Jackets for a fifth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. With Tarasov set to back up Sergei Bobrovsky, who is in his final contract year, the Panthers aim to solidify their goalie lineup. Although Tarasov's NHL record isn't stellar, his size and potential offer the Panthers a worthwhile backup option. As they navigate offseason contracts, the Panthers must also consider qualifying offers for several restricted free agents.
"The Florida Panthers have acquired goaltender Daniil Tarasov from the Columbus Blue Jackets for a fifth-round pick, adding him as a backup to Sergei Bobrovsky."
"Tarasov, 26, brings solid size and potential to the Panthers' lineup despite a mixed record during his time in Columbus, showing promise with a recent shutout."
