Florida Panthers, Vladimir Tarasenko Reportedly 'Eying Each Other' for Reunion

Veteran forward Vladimir Tarasenko and the Florida Panthers are reportedly considering a reunion, with NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman stating they are "eying each other." Tarasenko, who posted 23 goals and 47 points for the Minnesota Wild last season, was acquired by the Panthers at the 2023-24 trade deadline, helping them reach the Stanley Cup Final. With Brad Marchand facing an early-season absence, Tarasenko could fill a roster spot, though his fit depends on the Panthers' health and the emergence of other forwards like Sandis Vilmanis.
