From a value standpoint, this isn't incredible for the Panthers, but they have a lot of key players to re-sign this offseason, and desperately need to offload some cap space. Spencer Knight is someone who could blossom into a starter in the right situation, and someone who the Panthers really don't need. I'm sure they'd prefer a cheaper, more experienced option to back up Bob in Charlie Lindgren, who exceeded expectations in Washington this season. Luostarinen is another cap casualty for Florida. There are dozens of cheaper veteran guys in free agency who are better fits for Florida's forward core. Vinnie Iorio is another cheaper option who has legitimate potential to crack the starting roster on the Panthers' blue line next season with the likely departure of multiple defensemen in free agency. While you don't like to see the clear difference in value, it's a necessary move for Florida if they want to keep the players that make them a contending team.

Nothing crazy about this trade I just like Santeri Hatakka

Any bubble team that has draft capital to play with could get Nic Dowd
