FLORIDA PANTHERS NEWS

Tobias Bjornfot - Taken off waivers Bjornfot was claimed off waivers by Florida from Vegas on Friday, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.

Impact Bjornfot has no points, two PIM, two hits and five blocks in three games between LA and Vegas this season. The Panthers will likely use him as a depth option, and Bjornfot may consequently spend a fair amount of time as a healthy scratch.

Kyle Okposo - Traded to Cats Okposo was sent to Florida by the Sabres on Friday in exchange for Calle Sjalin and a conditional seventh-round pick.

Impact Okposo could be in danger of missing the 30-point threshold for the second straight season after having registered just 22 points through 61 games this year. With the Panthers, the veteran winger figures to continue filling a bottom-six role but could see some opportunities with the No. 2 power-play unit.
