The Florida Panthers reportedly kicked the tires on a Russian superstar before landing an instrumental player this past season.
The Florida Panthers rocked the trade deadline market this past season by landing top defenseman Seth Jones from the Chicago Blackhawks and former Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand.
Both vets were instrumental in helping the Cats hoist their second Stanley Cup in a row. But there was a chance that Marchand would not have ever landed in Florida.
