Panthers pivot net: Markstrom trade signals shift after Bobrovsky era

Florida Panthers acquire goalie Jacob Markstrom and forward Angus Crookshank from the New Jersey Devils for Evan Rodrigues, Jesper Boqvist, and Ben Steeves, a deal tied to Sergei Bobrovsky’s looming departure and aimed at a cap-friendly, competitive goaltending tandem with Akira Schmid. The move gives New Jersey cap relief and depth with Rodrigues and Boqvist as it pursues a broader retool. Analysts grade Panthers a B and Devils a B+, noting Markstrom’s age and recent form as risk but potential upside and a prudent, market-efficient reshaping of two rosters.
