27. Viktor Kozlov
A trade to the Florida Panthers would eventually place Viktor Kozlov on a line with his countryman, Pavel Bure.  Kozlov would enjoy the best success of his career with the Panthers, as he had three seasons scoring over 50 Points, including a 70 Point campaign where he had over 50 Assists.  The playmaker was also known for his clean play, never exceeding 30 PIM in a aseason over his Panthers run.  Of the 537 Points that the Soviet-born player had, 291 were as a Panther.
