PrintThroughout the Olympic break, Panthers On The Block will focus on Florida players nearing the end of their contracts or those who've garnered attention from the rumor mill since ownership declared "no one is safe".
How acquired: via trade with CAL (06/27/09; Leopold and Flames' 3rd round pick in 2009 [Josh Birkholz] in exchange for Jay Bouwmeester). Re-signed with Florida to one-year deal, 07/01/09.
Current salary/cap hit: $1.75M / 1.75M.
2009-10 season notes: (2) goals below career-high. Game-winning goals tie career-high (1). Currently ranks third in scoring among FLA defensemen (McCabe, Seidenberg). Had two 3-game point streaks (Oct. 28th through Oct. 31st and Dec.16th through Dec. 19th).

Obviously everything depends on what comes back, but Leopold is definitely trade-able, given a decent return. Unless he comes straight out in the next couple weeks and says he’s willing to sign a 2-3 year deal this offseason and stick around to help the transition to the Garrisons\Ellerby\Kulikov future, we gotta get something in return when he leaves. He’s not great, but certainly good enough to dump at the deadline to a team looking for an extra D.
Put him on the hook and see what bites.
I agree. He had expressed interest in staying prior to the announcements. If we get something good back or have to put him in a trade with a forward to get a good return, then do what must be done. But he’s not a guy I’m itching to get rid of.
Florida Panthers: Giving the league a punching bag since 2000.
