Top 50 Florida Panthers
The winner of the Calder Trophy in 2013, Jonathan Huberdeau would nlt only become the prime offensive weapon for the Forida Panthers, but also one of the premier Left WIngs in Hockey.
Huberdeau, who was a former Third Overall Pick (2011), would have back-to-back 50 Point years (2014-15 & 2015-16), and likely would have had a third had he not been held to only 31 Games the year after. Since that time, his scoring touch has continued to evolve, peaking with 115 Points in 2021-22. A Second Team All-Star in 2020-21 and 2021-22, Huberdeau has averaged over a Point per Game in his last five seasons, as a Panther, but depsite his 2021-22 year (where he also led the NHL in Assists with 85, and finished fifth in Hart voting), the Panthers were frustrated by their inabilty to get past the second round.
Florida made a blockbustr trade, trading Huberdeau to the Cakgary Flames for Matthew Tkachuk. WHether or not Florida won the trade is to be determined, but he left the Sunshine State with 613 Points in 671 Games.

From Russia, Dmitry Kulikov is a well-travelled defencman whose shut down skills would always find a home in the NHL.
Drafted 14th Overall in 2009, Kulikov debuted for the Panthers while still a teenager, and found solid time at the blue line over the next few seasons, peaking with a 28-Point output in 2011-12. Kulikov was traded to Buffalo in 2016, and he would later played for Winnipeg, New Jersey, Edmonton, Minnesota, Anaheim and Pittsburgh before resigning in 2023 with the Panthers as a Free Agent.
It was a great move for Kulikov, who helped Florida win their first Stanley Cup. He is still with Florida going into 2024/25 and his veteran presence could help them repeat.

Top 50 Florida Panthers
The 10th overall draft pick form the 1995 Draft, Czech born forward, Radek Dvorak was young but he helped the Florida Panthers reach their first ever Stanley Cup. Dvorak would prove to be a good two way player and decent on the shorthanded side of the ice, and was productive in both of his Florida runs.
