How Barkov and Huberdeau play together,.. would be foolish to break that duo, attempts always have failed when done before.
Huberdeau-Barkov-Dadonov
Panarin-Trocheck/Borgström-Hoffman

Besides, Huberdeau is younger and better player what Panarin.
- they can always play together on pp if they wish.

From what was being said, Bobrovsky is likely to follow Panarin;
If Florida had competent coaching they could have very well been a playoff team (sure Luongo sucked but that defense didn't do him much favors) as is, add those guys to the mix;
Huberdeau/Barkov/Dadonov
Panarin/Trotchek/Hoffman
Matheson/Ekblad
Yandle/whoever
Bobrovsky
This makes an already miserable top half of the Atlantic division even uglier.

Obviously from our fan perspectives there are connections to South Florida for Panarin, but you never know what a person is truly thinking. We'll see for sure on July 1.

He’s not going to Montreal. And no they can’t pay more then anyone else considering taxes in Canada.

Bad contracts get dumped all the time. Just have to pay to get it done. The panthers have the picks to do it.
Consequently, being paid in USD when Canada uses funny money overcomes large parts of that difference.
10m USD is 13.32m Funny Dollars. Canadiens would obviously have to overpay to make it equal, but its doable. I don't think he'd want to come to MTL either, but if he's in it solely for money we are a top contender in that sense.

I like to think CDN money is colorful and vibrant compared to US currency. Not arguing value but just the look of the bills.

If an elite offensive player is interested in playing for your team, you find a way to make it work and go from there.

I’d still sign him regardless! He’s a top end talent that might allow the Panthers to get something good for Mike Hoffman. He’s a UFA at the end of next season and I wonder if he’s in the Panthers long term plans? And Panarin is one of “Joel’s guys” !

Tax rates from Florida to MTL would result in a 1.641 million dollar difference per year assuming a 10 million dollar contract. That extra 1.641 USD matters a lot more then the exchange rate from USD to your funny money.

I feel that Luongo could be an easy contract to bury in Arizona/Ottawa. $4.3 million in actual paid salary saved relative to cap it in the last couple years.

Not really. Maybe Panarin likes it there, but Florida needs to fix their defense and find a goalie. Huberdeau, Trochceck, Barkov, Dadonov and Hoffman on a team's top 6 is better than most team's.

Nobody directly associated with the Panthers has said Panarin's name in public. They can have all the private conversations they want about Panarin and if parties privy to those private conversations want to report that the Panthers plan to try and sign Panarin, that's not tampering.
