Rodrigues Leaves Panthers for Devils | Florida Panthers News
Description
Evan Rodrigues, a two-time Stanley Cup champ and versatile workhorse for the Florida Panthers, has been traded to the New Jersey Devils in a deal that sent Jacob Markstrom to Florida. Despite his impact on all lines and his reputation for grit, his $3M cap hit forced the Panthers’ hand as they navigate salary cap limits. Teammates like captain Sasha Barkov praised his all-around game and positive locker room presence, while GM Sunny Mehta now welcomes him to Newark. Rodrigues, committed to a “two hundred-foot game,” emphasized smart, hard-working hockey — a philosophy that defined his Panthers tenure. Though his departure signals the business side of hockey, his future with Florida isn’t entirely closed.
