The Florida Panthers have underperformed thus far; however, there’s plenty of time left for some new faces to settle in.

This season is already being written off as a wash by some fans, with Bob Boughner’s unit recording just one win in regulation across nine games.

The team has struggled on both special teams units, limiting turnovers, and between the pipes. Something has to give soon, there’s going to have to be a spark at some point this season to get this team going.

This spark can come from the minors, as the Panthers are in need of some serious depth with some bottom liners that have underperformed to begin the year.

Here are some players from the farm system that I believe can spark the Florida Panthers this season.
