FORT LAUDERDALE \u2014 The Florida Panthers made their second trade with the Minnesota Wild in as many days on Friday, reaquiring forward Vinnie Hinostroza.<\/p>\n
The deal was first reported by Mike Russo of the Athletic.<\/p>\n
Florida is basically giving the Wild some cap relief and getting a player in return. The deal is for \u2018future considerations.\u2019<\/p>\n
The Panthers also claimed forward Cole Reinhardt off waivers from the Vegas Golden Knights. He has played in 44 games for Vegas this season with seven points off three goals.<\/p>\n
Hinostroza, who turns 32 on April 3, was one of Bill Zito\u2019s first free agent signings after taking over the Panthers in 2020.<\/p>\n
Things did not work out.<\/p>\n
Hinostroza spent much of his time here on the Covid-season taxi squad, playing nine games without registering a point.<\/p>\n
Zito traded Hinostroza to his hometown Chicago Blackhawks during the season.<\/p>\n
Hinostroza has three goals and 10 points in 58 games for the Wild this season. He carries a cap hit of $775,000 which expires after this season.<\/p>\n
With Florida expected to deal A.J. Greer and possibly Jesper Boqvist in the coming hours before the NHL Trade Deadline ends at 3 today, Hinostroza and Reinhardt will be options for Florida\u2019s fourth line.<\/p>\n
The Panthers first deal before the deadline came Thursday when Jeff Petry was sent to the Wild<\/a> for a conditional seventh round pick in the upcoming draft.<\/p>\n This is the third time Florida has picked up a Vegas player off waivers \u2014 second on a trade deadline day.<\/p>\n In 2024, the Panthers snagged defenseman Toby Bjornfot from the Knights; before this season, Florida claimed Cole Schwindt.<\/p>\n ON DECK: GAME No. 63
