How Florida Panthers can win their First Stanley Cup

 The Florida Panthers have never won a Stanley Cup in the existence of their franchise; the closest they came to winning a Stanley Cup was in 1996 when they lost in the Stanley Cup Finals to the Colorado Avalanche. If the Florida Panthers want to win a Stanley Cup, they should make these moves.


At the expansion draft, one trade is made:

Florida Panthers trade Keith Yandle to the Seattle Kraken for a 2021 2nd round pick, 2021 3rd rd pick. If the Kraken make the playoffs, the Panthers get an additional 2022 2nd rd pick.

Keith Yandle would have to waive his no-move clause, but I think he would be he would get more ice time with the Seattle Kraken, who could use a veteran defenseman like Yandle.


Florida Panthers lose Chris Driedger to the Seattle Kraken in the expansion draft.


Before the 2021 draft, two trades are made:


Florida Panthers trade Anton Stralman to the Columbus Blue Jackets for a 2021 4th round pick.

The Panthers unload Stralman's contract, while the Blue Jackets get a veteran defenseman that fits into Columbus' system.


The Panthers also trade Anthony Duclair, Lucas Wallmark, Gustav Forsling to the Dallas Stars for Jamie Oleksiak, Jason Dickinson.

The Panthers add Jamie Oleksiak and Jason Dickinson, two solid players who can be stop-gap solutions until their prospects are NHL ready.


At the 2021 Draft, the Florida Panthers trade pick 35 to the Arizona Coyotes for picks 44, 2022 3rd round pick.

The good news is that the New Jersey Devils have the benefit of having the 10th overall pick, which they could move to acquire a netminder, and they also have plenty of cap space to add other players as well.
