In August 2022, then-Flames general manager Brad Treliving inked Huberdeau…
Some of my favorite sports uniforms are red. This has always been true, and my choices of teams to support have only reinforced that. (A chicken-egg situation?) Other than the Miami Marlins (who did have the snazzy Sugar Kings red jerseys a few years back), the Miami Heat, the New England Patriots (god, I love those red throwbacks ), Liverpool, Barcelona, and MY Florida Panthers all have red(-ish) uniforms.
I therefore feel uniquely qualified to contribute a ranking of red jerseys across th...
The Florida Panthers selected center Ryder Cali in the second round (48th overall) of the 2026 NHL Draft, using the pick they acquired from the Washington Capitals for Justin Sourdif.
Cali has a very interesting hockey background as his mother, a Canadian, was a professional player toiling in Switzerland who continued to suit up during the first trimester of her pregnancy with Ryder.
When he was three, his family moved from Switzerland to the Cayman Islands, where Cali started off pl...

The Florida Panthers have a real hole to fill with Brad Marchand sidelined, and one might already be sitting on the open market.

Marchand underwent unexpected hip and sports hernia surgery late in the summer and could miss six to 10 games to start the season, with an earliest poss...
Just when it looked like the Florida Panthers were actually going make a first-round choice or two at the 2026 NHL Draft, they pulled a fast one on us and traded both picks to the Ottawa Senators for Brady Tkachuk and didn’t make their initial selection until early in the second round, when they took forward Simas Ignatavičius 40th overall.
Born in Memphis, TN and raised in Lithuania, Ignatavičius became just the fourth player from that country drafted by an NHL team, joining Darius ...

After taking the opening round off at the 2023 NHL Entry Draft in Nashville, Florida Panthers general manager Bill Zito selected center Gracyn Sawchyn from the Western Hockey League’s Seattle Thunderbirds late in the second with the 63rd overall pick.
Sawchyn is a hard-working, high-energy prospect who was somewhat polarizing among scouting services and hockey publications, who had him ranked anywhere from 13th to 90th, at the time.
