Just no.
We've seen the reported St. Louis offer. The Panthers were adding pieces to a package that they didn't need to out of fear of getting out bid by St. Louis and perhaps Carolina.
Don't make a demand that slows the process down and potentially makes Florida wonder if they're over paying, when you don't need the players signed to make the deal a victory to begin with.
Just start the damn car!
