Rick Bowness Opens Up About 'The Rant'—And Doubles Down

But after re-upping for another go-round with the Jackets , he will be back.

Report: Florida Panthers Open to Trading 2026 1st-Round Pick
Despite losing a huge part of their operation in Sunny Mehta joining the New Jersey Devils, don't be surprised to see the Florida Panthers have one of the more active offseasons in the NHL.
