Pretty sure Florida has already said they won't be trading for Bob. They are not in the playoff hunt, and can wait until July 1st.

If another team were to trade for him and get him to sign then they can go after Lehner or someone and dump that money on one of the big ticket free-agent forwards.

Seems to me they might still have interest before the TDL...

That is a hell of a haul for Panarin! Is there a buzz/rumors to support this, or is it your hope/guess?

It's not that big...Nashville is going for a Cup, they can trade futures for the now.

LeBrun said the chances of Florida trading for Bob at/before the deadline was "slim".

I would trust LeBrun over Servelli. And that Servelli article is 100% speculation of who might be on the trade block if they were interest in trading for Bob/Panarin.

LeBrun Article (Athletic/Paywall)

I agree - they can and should trade futures for the now, but... 2 first rounders (I am calling either Fabbro or the 2021 1st as a first rounder) and a contributing roster player for a rental 'isnt that big'? Show me a rental in the last 5 years with that type of haul?!?!?

I may be wrong on that, but it seems crazy high! Good on CBJ GM if he can pull off a haul like that whether it is to Nashville or not!

When was the last time you saw a rental of Panarin's caliber available?

After a quick search, I believe I found 2 comparables:
* Jeff Carter from CBJ to LAK for a decent D (Jack Johnson) and a 1st
* Kevin Shattenkirk last year - for 2 AHLers (Zach Sanford and Brad Malone), and a first, and a conditional pick that was not sent.

Not saying the haul is impossible, as you are right that Panarin is a dynamic player, but that is a high price to pay for a rental...

I wouldn't compare Shattenkirk to Panarin at all! And Carter was not a rental.
