In addition to their big move of acquiring forward Thomas Vanek from Detroit, the Florida Panthers made a couple of minor-league moves on deadline day.
The Cats added another young goaltender to their prospect base, trading veteran AHLer Mike McKenna to the Tampa Bay Lightning for 24-year-old Adam Wilcox.
Wilcox, the 178th overall pick in the 2011 draft, played college hockey for the University of Minnesota and was in his second season with the Syracuse Crunch. In 34 games with the Crunch this season, Wilcox posted a 18-9-2 record with a 2.87 GAA and .895 save percentage.
