Panthers’ Tank Plan Could Boost Blackhawks’ Draft Stock

TL;DR Summary
Florida Panthers are reportedly embracing a 'be bad' approach ahead of the NHL trade deadline, signaling potential asset sales. Their decision could benefit the Chicago Blackhawks by increasing the odds that Florida finishes in the top 10 of the 2026 draft and triggers the Blackhawks receiving Florida’s fully unprotected first-round pick in 2027, potentially pushing that asset to 2028 if the Panthers stay in the top ten.
