Claimed off Waivers: [FLA] Panthers claim Tobias Bjornfot off waivers from the Golden Knights

He probably thought the same thing getting claimed by Vegas. Played 4 games with Vegas , just over 9 min TOI. Maybe he'll get better there.

Probably not going to play much this season. I think the idea is prep him for next year/be ready for injury fill ins.

Bjorn Ironside?

Scouting report on this kid?

Our pro scouts are top notch

“Swedish prospect on the move from Stanley Cup champion Las Vegas to Cup-contending Florida.”

Someone send this headline back to 1955 to take out young Don Cherry before he can rise to power.

100% they're turning him into a second pair shut down D. F*** Florida and f*** Vegas I'm going home

Yeah but has Vegas really had success with projects on D?

Like, Florida has Montour, Forsling, OEL doing well enough. And they need to keep that pipeline going. Theyre not "rich" on D if that makes sense

I mean not to the same degree but McNabb was pretty much a bottom pair guy and has turned into a steady 2nd pairing D + Whitecloud is a nice find for an undrafted UFA. Got Schmidt's best years before getting out from him just in time as well

Best of luck to Toby in FLA, hope he finally gets some ice time

LAK didn't claim him? Weird, they could have sent him down to AHL without requiring waivers so I would have imagined that it would have been risk-free.
