6. Robert Svehla

Playing for the Florida Panthers for 8 of his 9 NHL seasons, blueliner Robert Svehla is, as of this writing, without question one of the greatest Defenseman in Panthers history.  The Slovakian star represented Florida in the 1997 All-Star Game and had four seasons where he exceeded 40 Points.  He was also a significant reason why Florida would make the Stanley Cup Finals in the 1995/96 Season.  With the Panthers, Svehla had 290 Points.
