Wennberg was bought out by the Blue Jackets yesterday but signed a one-year "show me" deal with the Panthers. In Florida, Wennberg has a perfect opportunity to serve as their second line centre and get back to his point producing ways.

Wennberg had three years left on a six-year deal that carried a $4.9M AAV cap hit.

Still, he has enough skill to be a No.2 centre for a team in need and a good enough two-way game to be a third line centre for a team with better depth.
Wennberg has missed the last 12 games with an upper-body injury but is expected to be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Wild. Wennberg has five goals and 15 assists (20 points) in 52 games this season.
