Tallon: Panthers may seek ‘something just to give us a spark’ via trade
With only nine days until the March 1 NHL trade deadline though, what is the mindset of this team?
“If we have a good week, we’re going to probably maintain and look and see what’s available,” said president of hockey operations Dale Tallon during a Monday afternoon appearance on Toronto’s Sportsnet 590. “We’re not going to give up much off our roster to chase something. We do have some picks and prospects, but we’re not going to see many changes on our roster.
“So if it’s a deal there that’s a short-term kind of quick fix thing, we might look at that as well. But obviously we prefer to be buying. I think that’s what’s going to happen.

Expect Florida and Vegas to ask permission to talk to Julien
I would expect Las Vegas and Florida to seek permission from BOS to talk to fired head coach Claude Julien about their coaching vacancies.

Panthers fire head coach Gallant
The Florida Panthers have relieved coach Gerard Gallant of his duties.
The 53-year-old head coach joined the team in June of 2014. In his first season, he led the Panthers to a 38 win campaign and 91 points.
According to TSN hockey insider Bob Mackenzie Florida has also fired assistant coach Mike Kelly. General Manager Tom Rowe will be taking over head coaching duties.
Panthers co-owner raves about Ladd, but won’t ‘comment on discussions’
The ties between the Florida Panthers and pending UFA forward Andrew Ladd were never a secret.
Panthers GM Tallon told us other day that he’s looking for 2 pieces to put team over the top. Jets LW Andrew Ladd has 15 goals, 17 assists

Brian Campbell told me he's open to coming back to #FlaPanthers … Dale Tallon says they want him back. Agent here next week, will discuss.

Will Florida make a push for Ladd?
I'd be shocked if Florida GM Dale Tallon isn't making biggest push for UFA Ladd. Needs power winger. Had him in Chicago.

Brian Campbell’s future could hinge on how Florida Panthers finish this season
Even though it has been over five years since Brian Campbell joined the Panthers, he never really left Chicago.
Now in the final year of the eight-year, $57 million contract Campbell originally signed with the Blackhawks, some wonder if he’ll eventually return to play in Chicago — perhaps as early as next season.
More moves likely in Florida
Tallon suggested there might be more personnel moves as the Panthers remain in the chase for a Stanley Cup playoff berth.
