More on the Florida Panthers latest acquisition, Patric Hornqvist

It took a while, but new Florida Panthers general manager Bill Zito finally sent Mike Matheson and the final six years of his contract packing yesterday, along with bottom-six forward Colton Sceviour.

The man coming back the other way from the Pittsburgh Penguins is 33-yea-old forward Patric Hornqvist.

After being selected with final pick of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft by the Nashville Predators, Hornqvist spent the first six years of his NHL career with the Predators before he was traded to the Pittsburgh on June 27, 2014 for James Neal.
