With its final pick of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft in Nashville, the Florida Panthers selected forward Stepan Zvyagin in the seventh round (198th overall) from the KHL’s Dinamo Minsk; the only Belarusian club in the league.
The Florida Panthers will be back on the ice — sort of — starting this afternoon when they open development camp in Coral Springs. For the first time since the pandemic, the sessions will be free and open to the public.
In the 30 year history of the Florida Panthers, many players have come and gone. Some faster than others. From trade deadline acquisitions, to waiver pickups to contracts that did not quite work out, there have been a slew of well-known NHL players who made a quick pit stop in South Florida.
Florida Panthers development camp begins this morning and will be comprised of a total of 37 players. Among the collection of drafted or signed Panthers prospects are 17 players who are looking to make a name for themselves as they work towards a career in the professional ranks.

The Florida Panthers signed unrestricted free agent depth forward Rasmus Asplund to a one-year, two-way contract that carries a $775K NHL salary and pays $400K at the minor league level.
He spent 15 seasons in the NHL between Nashville, Pittsburgh and Florida and is certainly one of the most successful late-round picks in recent memory as he was picked with the final selection in 2005, going 230th overall.
Hornqvist retires after 15 seasons in the NHL, playing 901 regular-season games with 264 goals, 279 assists and 543 points, along with 106 playoff games where he had 28 goals, 25 assists and 53 points.

After picking forward Gracyn Sawchyn in the second round and defenseman Albert Wikman in the fourth round, on the advice of its "goaltending excellence department,” the Florida Panthers went a bit off the board with its selection of Swedish netminder Olof Glifford in the fifth round.
Earlier today, the Philadelphia Flyers signed defenseman Marc Staal to a one-year contract worth $1.1 million. Staal, who is 36 years old, is coming off a Stanley Cup Final run with the Florida Panthers where he scored three goals and added 12 assists for 15 points through 82 regular season games.
