Florida Panthers Face Obstacle in Resigning Key Players

The year was 2013, and the Chicago Blackhawks were in game 6 of the Stanley Cup final against the Boston Bruins. Chicago was tied with the Bruins at two goals a piece with 58.4 seconds left in the third period. One goal would give the Blackhawks the Stanley Cup, and Dave Bolland would answer the call.

Dave Bolland was selected 32nd overall in the 2004 NHL draft by the Chicago Blackhawks, who were under the management of current Florida Panthers general manager, Dale Tallon at that time. Bolland would be shipped down to Chicago’s AHL team, The Rockford Ice Hogs for his first professional season.
