EP Rinkside 2021-22 Prospect Pool Rankings: No. 9-ranked Florida Panthers

As the Florida Panthers' on-ice fortunes have taken a turn for the better, their prospect pool has paradoxically followed a similar trajectory. That they've enjoyed this sort of success in two departments that usually share an inverse relationship is a testament to their scouts' mettle.

This group has consistently punched above their weight class, finding a way to unearth players with legitimate top-of-the-lineup potential without needing a top-10 pick to do it.
