Despite an eleventh-hour draft day deal that saw Florida and Columbus swap positions, it was a foregone conclusion that the Panthers were going after Jay with their first round pick. They fully expected him to step right into their NHL lineup and, of course, that is what he did. Ultimately taken third overall, Bouwmeester was a defensive stalwart for both the Medicine Hat Tigers (WHL) and Team Canada, with whom he won a silver medal at the 2002 World Junior Championships. He collected an assist in his NHL debut on October 10, 2002.

Panthers Coffee Talk Name that player!
One Shore has arrived in the NHL, and another one could be on the way soon. Shore was looking like a keeper for Florida as the Panthers started to increase his minutes in 2012-13 and watched the pivot reward them with points. Shore's younger brother, Nick, was selected by the Kings in the 2011 dr...
Who is it?
Murphy, who played for the Panthers since the franchise's inception in '93-94, has made his mark in Florida as an excellent two-way player and valuable skater on the power play, either serving at the point or killing a disadvantage.
Who is it?
The Panthers pulled the trigger on one of the biggest trades of the '98-99 season when they picked up Bure, one of the top offensive players in the game, as part of a seven-player deal with the Canucks 1-17-99. The winger paid instant dividends for Florida, scoring two goals in his first game as ...

Back to the Front! Panthers card back du jour...
Ed Jovanovski
When Bill Torrey was running the Islanders, he drafted a youngster named Denis Potvin, who went on to become one of the greatest defensemen in NHL history. Now in Florida, Torrey is hoping to get the same kind of effort from Ed, whom he chose first overall in 1994. A thunderous hitter, Ed debuted with the Panthers on Nov. 2, 1995, after recovering from a broken finger.
