Pavel Bure<\/p>\n
The right winger selection is one clear and obvious choice, and that is the Russian Rocket, who is the greatest goal scorer in franchise history, upon\u00a0joining the Panthers<\/a>,\u00a0Pavel Bure<\/a>. His best single season with the organization came in the 1999\u201300 campaign, in which he appeared in 74 games and contributed 58 goals and 36 assists for a total of 94 points. That was the highest on the team that season, the highest total of any Panther to appear in the 1990s, and the sixth-highest overall.<\/p>\n It is also the second-highest single-season goal total in franchise history, only behind his own total in the 2000\u201301 season. He also finished the season with a plus-25 during his 74-game run. In the 1999\u201300 playoff run, he appeared in four games and recorded one goal and three assists.<\/p>\n Ed Jovanovski<\/p>\n The left-handed defenseman pool of the 1990s Panthers isn\u2019t exactly rich in offensive production; there are a handful of directions to go, but ultimately the selection landed on the 1995\u201396 rookie season of first-overall pick Ed Jovanovski. In that campaign, beyond being a key member of a team that made it all the way to the Stanley Cup Final, he appeared in 70 games and had 10 goals and 11 assists for a total of 21 points.<\/p>\n It is the 22nd-highest goal total in franchise history among defensemen, the third-highest from the decade, and the highest of anyone who is left-handed. With his offensive contributions, that isn\u2019t the brightest spot of his play style; it\u2019s about his defensive ability and physicality he brings as a player, and his rookie form brought physicality at a tremendous level. He also had 137 penalty minutes and was a minus-3 on the season. He followed that up with a successful playoff run of 22 games, recording one goal and eight assists.<\/p>\n Robert Svehla<\/p>\n The final skater slot for right-handed defensemen goes to someone who is scattered throughout the Panthers\u2019 record book, especially for his work and role as an offensive defenseman. The spot goes to\u00a0Robert Svehla<\/a>, particularly for his 1995\u201396 season in which he played 81 games, putting up eight goals and 49 assists for a total of 57 points. This is the fourth-highest point total for a defenseman in Panthers history and the highest of the decade.<\/p>\n This performance also gives him the third-highest assist total among all-time Panthers defensemen. During this season, he had 94 penalty minutes and finished with a minus-3 rating over 81 games. He also appeared in 22 playoff games and finished with zero goals and six assists for six playoff points.<\/p>\n John Vanbiesbrouck<\/p>\n The goalie selection for this team is a fixture and stalwart of the organization, and a look back at the decade would not be complete without a discussion of this goaltender. John Vanbiesbrouck came to define the first era of Panthers hockey, backstopping them on several occasions, including the run all the way to the eventual loss in the Stanley Cup Final.<\/p>\n![\"Pavel](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Pavel-Bure-Panthers-e1531758897915-575x432.jpg\")
