Florida Panthers Should Consider Acquiring Niklas Hjalmarsson
Following a disastrous 2019 season, the Florida Panthers will need more reinforcements defensively. Should the Cats negotiate a potential trade with the Arizona Coyotes for defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson?
To say the Florida Panthers struggled defensively last season would be a mere understatement. The Cats established a franchise record for most goals allowed in a single season. This was primarily because of below average defense and inconsistent goaltending.
The Panthers can easily rectify their defensive woes by simply acquiring a proven, top-four defenseman either through free agency or trade.
