Interest growing on Florida’s Forsling… The Panthers D-man had a very strong playoff and teams are aware of the Panthers injury situations on Defense on the Right side…

Teams are aware of the Panthers injury situation on defense? I'm not understanding this at all.

Here is my basic understanding. Florida has 4 defensemen under contract for next season:

Forsling-Ekblad
Mahura-Montour

That's it. Gudas and Staal are UFAs. Then some AHL depth. Why would Florida be trading Forsling? It's the exact opposite. With a $2.7M cap hit he's a great bargain. They will keep him and be looking to bring back Gudas and Staal, or sign/acquire replacements for them. But if sources are saying Forsling is on the block then I'll be watching...

Why on Earth would Florida deal Forsling?

I'm sure there's interest in Forsling, but I can't imagine there's any interest in trading him away.

Go Panthers!

It would make no sense moving Forsling. He’s Florida’s best defenseman on a razor thin blueline.

Absolutely ludicrous. Panthers need D, he was solid in the room. No chance, not happening.
