The Florida Panthers are a professional ice hockey team based in the Miami metropolitan area, specifically in Sunrise, Florida and compete in the Eastern Conference as part of Atlantic Division of the National Hockey League (NHL). Notably, the team was founded in 1993 as an expansion team and broke the record of most points by an expansion team in its debut season in 1994. Since then, the Panthers have secured three Conference Championships (1995–96, 2022–23, 2023–24), four Division Championships (2011–12, 2015–16, 2021–22, 2023–24) and a sole Presidents' Trophy (2021–22).
Owned by Sunrise Sports and Entertainment, the team's operations are overseen by chairman Vincent Viola, general manager Bill Zito, head coach Paul Maurice. On field they are led by Aleksander Barkov while they play their home games at the Amerant Bank Arena in Florida. Lastly, the Panthers are associated with minor league teams like the Charlotte Checkers (AHL) and the Savannah Ghost Pirates (ECHL).
Florida Panthers Draft Picks Year on Year
In recent years, the Florida Panthers have had notable drafts like Gracyn Sawchyn from the Western Hockey League (WHL), Marek Alscher and Ludvig Jansson from 2022, and Matthew "Mackie" Samoskevich in 2021. Remarkably, the 2020 draft was particularly fruitful as it yielded Anton Lundell who has accumulated over 100 points in the NHL already and Devon Levi, a promising goaltender. Going back further, the 2019 draft brought in key players like Spencer Knight, a significant presence in goal, and John Ludvig. Other notable picks include Aaron Ekblad from the 2014 Draft, Aleksander Barkov from the 2013 Draft, Erik Gudbranson, Nick Bjugstad, Quinton Howden, Alexander Petrovic, Joonas Donskoi, Zach Hyman and Connor Brickley.
Additionally, the draft included later-round gems like (123rd overall), a standout player who excelled elsewhere.
