As teams look to finalize their rosters, not just at the NHL level but below as well, some will do so by making a trade or two to sure up positions that might need some help.
The Florida Panthers, sensing the depth that they are going to have in the AHL, traded a former third round pick of theirs.
Jonathan Racine has played nearly 200 games at the AHL level, all in the Panthers’ system, but has only appeared in a single game with the NHL team. Today he was traded to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for forward Tim Bozon.
