The Panthers made a pair of minor moves before Friday’s trade deadline, but they held onto two veterans who won a title with the team.

For both of the trades the Panthers made, Minnesota was the trading partner. On Thursday, the Panthers sent defenseman Jeff Petry to the Wild for a conditional seventh-round pick. On Friday, Florida acquired forward Vinnie Hinostroza from Minnesota in exchange for future considerations.

The Panthers also claimed Cole Reinhardt off waivers from Las Vegas.

But Florida was reportedly considering trading star goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky and forward A.J. Greer, but it did not move either of them before the deadline. The team was working on contract extensions with both players, according to The Athletic.

“We want to continue to try to make our team better,” Florida GM Bill Zito said Friday. “We talked to agents for the (undrafted free agents), and we’ll continue to do so. We want to continue to try to sign our players, and we want to continue to try to make this team better and help our coaches and players and to win, ultimately.”

On Bobrovsky, Zito said: “Sergei is a part of our franchise, part of our core, and we want to try to keep him. I think with almost any player, you always — and I say this a lot, right — you always listen. When the phone rings, you answer because you don’t know what could happen. And at the end of the day, we want to keep trying to get them signed.”

Bobrovsky has struggled this season. After being a crucial part of Florida’s two Stanley Cup championships, he has an .873 save percentage, which is the lowest of his career and the only time as a Panther that number has slipped below .900. He has a 3.13 goals against average, which is the second-highest of his career behind only his first season with Florida.

“Perhaps his stats are lower, but I’m not sure that ‘decline’ is the word I’d use,” Zito said. “I think he’s fine. He’s had a hell of a workload. He’s a consummate professional, and I want Sergei to stay and I’m looking forward to having him back.”

Florida also held onto Greer, a veteran center who is in the second year of a two-year contract. He has 11 goals and 11 assists with a +8 plus-minus rating.

Hinostroza comes to Florida with 11 years of NHL experience. The 31-year-old has played in 460 NHL games and had a stint with the Panthers in 2020-21 (he played nine games with Florida that season). Hinostroza, a center, has 62 goals and 101 assists in his career.

This season, Hinostroza has three goals and seven assists in 48 games. He has a -8 plus-minus.

“He’s got a lot of speed,” Zito said. “He’s got some skill and plays hard. He’s kind of a jack of all trades. Not dissimilar from (Evan Rodrigues). I think Vinny could play center. He could play wing. He could jump around the lineup and he’s fast and he’s been here before. So that one was pretty seamless.”

Reinhardt, a winger, has played 62 NHL games across three seasons. This year, he has played 44 games with three goals and four assists. He has a -6 plus-minus.

“He kind of can fit in almost anywhere,” Zito said. “He’s in a good organization. He’s got another year on his deal, so we know we can hold onto him and keep him. And I would feel comfortable bouncing him in and around almost any of the positions.”
