The career of Tomas Vokoun as a Florida Panther is not as celebrated nearly as much as it should be.  Perhaps it was because he led the NHL in Losses twice as a Panther, and that he is known for the blooper clip of being injured by his own teammate, who meant to slash the goal post in frustration (but hit Vokoun instead).
A member of the Florida Panthers for the majority of his career, Nathan Horton would have three seasons with Florida, where he would have 50 Points plus, two of which would have 62 Points.  This run would also see Horton eclipse the 20 Goal mark four times as a Panther.

20. Gord Murphy

Arriving from the Philadelphia Flyers via the Expansion Draft, Gord Murphy brought a steady blue line presence to the Florida Panthers.  Murphy was never an All-Star, but he was the type of player who elevated the game of those around him and was a big part of the Panthers' first Stanley Cup appearance.
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.
