NHL Rumors: Florida Panthers, and the Carolina Hurricanes

George Richards of The Athletic: The Florida Panthers could be looking for a starting goaltender at the trade deadline or during the offseason.

They could be looking to go big with their main target possibly being Columbus Blue Jackets pending free agent Sergei Bobrovsky.

Bobrovsky owns a condo in downtown Miami already, and there have been rumors already that Bobrovsky and fellow pending UFA Artemi Panarin have interest in playing in the state of Florida.

Panarin rejected an eight-year contract offer from the Blue Jackets last June. It’s also believed that the Blue Jackets had offered Bobrovsky a four-year contract extension.
