The Panthers front office is in full gear as free agency kicks off and development camp heats up, with key signings still pending and expiring contracts looming — but don’t let the current roster fool you, they’re not done yet. Through 18 seasons covering the team, I’ve seen nearly 300 players don the Panthers jersey — over 480 since the franchise began. Sasha Barkov and Aaron Ekblad lead all players with 804 regular-season games. Even the shortest stints are legendary: Paul Brousseau’s 1.9 minutes in 2001, and Brian Foster’s five-minute NHL debut with a perfect 0.00 GAA. Backup goalies have outperformed starters — Stolarz and Driedger posted stellar numbers, while Roberto Luongo holds the games record and Bobrovsky is second. From Presidents’ Trophy glory to playoff heartbreak, the ride’s been wild — and unforgettable moments include two Stanley Cup wins at home and rule changes born from unique on-ice chaos, like the emergency backup goalie rule.

Shea Busch is turning heads as a fourth-round Panthers pick, dominating development camp with elite skating and leadership that melts ice—both on and off the rink. After a heroic comeback from injury last season, he led the Everett Silvertips to their first-ever WHL Championship, capped by a playoff hat trick. Peers rave about his ability to unite teammates and foster team chemistry, making him a standout not just for stats, but for heart. Heading to Penn State for 2026-27, he’s focused on getting bigger, stronger, and even more impactful—while already eyeing his next return to Panthers camp, where his presence is clearly cherished.
