Twice an All-Star with the Coyotes, Keith Yandle was dealt to the Florida Panthers after his second team, the New York Rangers, were concerned that they would not be able to re-sign the Defenseman when his contract expired after the season. It worked out well for the Panthers, as they only gave up two middle-round picks, and they re-signed him for four more years.
An offensively gifted blueliner, Yandle became the top Defenseman instantly as soon as he donned Florida gear. Yandle was not just a good hockey player; he became a modern ironman, setting the record for the most consecutive games played by a Defenseman. He would score at least 40 Points in his first four years with the Panthers, with a 56-Point year in 2017-18, followed by a career-best 62 Points the year after.
An All-Star in 2019, Yandle joined Philadelphia as a Free Agent, but not before scoring 201 Points in 371 Games with Florida.
