Sounds like Zito got his defenseman!
Sounds like Ben Chiarot to FLA

Per Pierre LeBrun, Frank ‘Shoot First, Ask Questions Later’ Vatrano has been traded to the New York Rangers for a 2022 4th Rd Pick.
Making space for Giroux..?
The Florida Panthers are trading Frank Vatrano to the New York Rangers for a fourth round pick this year.

Official trade call hasn’t happened yet. @TSNHockey @TheAthletic
Panthers trade today cleared $2.5M of cap space. I think Florida is still a possible landing spot for Claude Giroux while I believe the Panthers still looking at top LHD options such as Lindholm, Chiarot or Giordano…

Bottom line, the Cup contending Panthers far from done.
