The Florida Panthers are currently working on a trade to acquire goaltender Jacob Markstrom from the New Jersey Devils, according to a report from Pierre LeBrun of TSN and The Athletic.
The potential move marks a significant shift for the Panthers' goaltending depth as they look to solidify their roster. Markstrom, a veteran netminder with extensive experience as a primary starter, was traded to New Jersey from the Calgary Flames earlier this year. His availability has been a major talking point across the league, and Florida appears to be the frontrunner to land his services.
While the framework of the deal is being discussed, the specific assets heading back to the New Jersey Devils have not yet been confirmed. Markstrom has been a sought-after target for teams looking for stability in the crease, and his arrival in Florida would provide the team with a high-caliber option alongside their current rotation. No official announcement has been made by either club as the final details are being ironed out.
