In trying to make a last minute push to secure a playoff spot (hoping Montreal loses out....), the Florida Panthers are placing Nikita Kucherov (89PA/86sSC/77OV) on the trading block. Looking to upgrade on the right-wing or get back a player of similar value to mix it up.

The Florida GM was quoted yesterday, "Kuckerov has been a big part of our team, however having him out of the lineup has allowed others to step up. Fact of the matter is we are winning and scoring more with him out. Its not a knock against Kuck he's a great player..... its just business."

Florida has a lot of assets and a bright future. "We are not scrambling to make a deal, however we need a player of his calibre to produce when its needed and Kuck has struggled as of late. If no deal is out there that works, we will be happy to keep him and re-evaluate in the off-season."
