Panthers Build Depth with Big Moves | Florida Panthers News

Jul 2, 2026 · 2 min

The Florida Panthers are on a bold rebuilding spree, locking down key players and adding depth with moves like a six-year deal for “The Butcher” Radko Gudas, bringing back goalie Jacob Markstrom to his draft roots, and extending Eetu Luostarinen for eight years. They’ve also traded for Akira Schmid and signed Cole Schwindt and Sandis Vilmanis to extensions, while Alexander Petrovic returns to shore up defense. President Bill Zito’s message is clear: depth is the new priority, and with a mix of familiar faces and fresh talent, the Panthers are crafting a sustainable, championship-caliber roster.
