It looks like the Flyers are also interested.
Flyers free-agent target: Tom Gilbert

He's got size, speed and smarts, and he has proved he can play more than 20 minutes a night in a top pairing. With Kimmo Timonen taking a lesser role next season, there's a vacancy there that the Flyers need to fill.

Boy was Gilbert a steal for Florida last season. He logged over 21 minutes a game on the team's top defensive pairing and was only minus-5 on a very bad Panthers team. He set himself up for a nice raise with his strong play, finishing the season with three goals and 28 points.

I didn't watch Florida much this year, but I didn't like him as a player when he played for the Oilers(might just be because of the logo on his jersey).
