Mike Johnston of Sportsnet: Nick Kypreos said last night that the sense is that the Florida Panthers will trade forward Derick Brassard before the trade deadline on February 25th.
Kypreos adds that the Columbus Blue Jackets could be one of the teams interested in Brassard.
There is also the speculation out there that the Panthers are interested in Blue Jackets Artemi Panarin.
