The Florida Panthers just made another trade with the Chicago Blackhawks. This time they send Brett Connolly, Riley Stillman, Henrik Borgstrom and a 7th round pick to the Hawks for Lucas Carlsson and Lucas Wallmark.

Panthers clear cap space in latest trade

The move now free up $4.1 million in cap space at the trade deadline which per Cap Friendly is equivalent to going after players totaling $18 million in salary. This could be the precursor for going out and acquiring a player like Taylor Hall and quite possibly David Savard. Both of which are 1 and 2 on TSN’s Trade Bait Board.
