In his first season as a Florida Panther (2011-12), Brian Campbell made history as the first Defenseman in over 50 seasons to win the Lady Byng Trophy.  Campbell scored over 50 Points that campaign and would receive Norris Trophy votes in three of his five seasons as a Panther.  Campbell returned to Chicago as a Free Agent in 2016, which is where he finished his career.
A somewhat unheralded player due to his lengthy time in Florida, Stephen Weiss still holds (as of this writing) the franchise record for Assists and Games Played.  Weiss actually played 637 Games with the Panthers before he finally played in his first postseason game.  He would score over 60 points in two seasons for Florida, and over his career, he would receive a sprinkling of votes for both the Lady Byng and the Frank J. Selke Awards.
The very respected Scott Mellanby has an essential place in Florida Panthers folklore.  It was the rigged Right Winger who scored the first goal in franchise history, and it was there where the “Rat Trick” was born.  In the locker room, Mellanby killed a rat with his hockey stick and scored a goal later that night.  It made for a good story.  That season, Florida went to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time, and the fan-favorite would see plastic rats litter the rink when the Panthers scored a goal.  Mellanby’s only two 60 Point Seasons were as a Panther.  If this list ever gets based solely on popularity, Mellanby would always be in the top five.
One of the best pure skaters in the game, Defenseman Jay Bouwmeester has the ability to cause damage on the offensive rush as good as anyone.  Drafted 3rd Overall in the 2002 Draft, Bouwmeester played his first seven seasons of his career with the Florida Panthers.  Bouwmeester would eclipse 40 Points three times with Florida and was an All-Star twice.  With the Panthers, Bouwmeester scored 203 Points.
