Wilkie, 23, has scored three goals and added three assists in three games for the NCAA's Colorado College Tigers this season. The 6-0, 195-pound forward was Florida's sixth-round selection (162nd overall) in the 2015 NHL Draft.
Clears a contract spot for another move if possibleSenators acquire forward Chris Wilkie from the Florida Panthers
As mentioned above, I guess they just wanted to clear a roster spot for the kids? Don't see why else they do this.

to get rid of a contract. Sitting at 49/50 contracts is not a place you want to be.
I think this is a leading trade for poolparty
How come Panthers still have his rights? It's been 4+ years since his draft.
Rodewald was never going to be an NHLer. If Wilkie does absolutely anything this is a win. If not who cares?
I'm not sure I agree about Rodewald. He was pretty good in Belleville and might steal a cup of coffee in the NHL somewhere someday. Hopefully this is for poolparty at a reasonable price. Best nickname in hockey. I want him for that reason alone.
Sens could afford to move on from him. IMO he is a good AHL player and could be an injury fill in on a 4th line but that's it. Over crowded in Belleville. Gain a contract spot for some flexibility. Likely should have been done sooner to take advantage of late waives.
Going to miss him. I thought he was an asset in Belleville
