Breaking: Panthers Acquire Goaltender From Western Powerhouse
Florida sent a 2028 third-round pick for the 26-year-old goalie as it tries to stabilize a net after Bobrovsky and Tarasov became free agents.
- On Monday, the Florida Panthers acquired goaltender Akira Schmid from the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for a 2028 third-round pick.
- General manager Bill Zito is reshaping the roster after an injury-decimated season, as current goalies Sergei Bobrovsky and Daniil Tarasov become unrestricted free agents Wednesday.
- Schmid, 26, played 34 games for the Knights last season with 29 starts but remained third on the depth chart behind Carter Hart and Adin Hill.
- The 6-foot-5, 190-pound netminder played 10 career playoff games with the New Jersey Devils and represented Switzerland at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
- This trade follows Florida's recent acquisitions of defenseman Radko Gudas and forward Garnet Hathaway, continuing a busy offseason after the team missed the playoffs.
