The Florida Panthers haven't had the greatest start to the season and it looks like they could be in a position to sell come the deadline, a far cry from a team that made the playoffs last year.
According to Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli the Panthers might have a move incoming, one that they've had in their back pocket for a little bit, take a look:
Sam Bennett or Sam Reinhart look to be on the block. Both have been key contributors on Florida team that currently sits 5th in the Atlantic division with a record of 18-18-4.
Bennett, 26, has played in 40 games for the Panthers this season registering 25 points which include 8 goals and 17 assists.
Reinhart, 27, has also played in 40 games with Florida this year and has registered 26 points including 12 goals and 14 assists.
If the Panthers want to move one or both I'm sure there will be no shortage of suitors for players that you can essentially plug in and play anywhere in your lineup. The question becomes what will the price be?
