    Default Corban Knight set to become UFA

    “After my season finished, we had talks with Florida and negotiations took place, but it turned out it wasn’t going to work out for both parties. We told Florida we were going to wait until free agency (Aug. 15) or a trade,” explained Knight.

    The Panthers have drafted Jonathon Huberdeau, Vincent Trocheck, Nick Bjugstad and Quinton Howden in the past three years, and they want to give them a shot. After speaking with the Panthers and looking at their depth chart Knight and his agent felt it was in his best interest to test the free-agent market.

    Three teams have contacted the Panthers about acquiring Knight, and the Oilers are one of them, according to my sources. Will they sign another top college free agent two years in a row?

    Tough loss for Florida as Knight seems to be very promising prospect. I'm sure lots of teams would love to sign as a FA.

    Apparently Knight is a Canucks fan, his dad is working with the Flames and he's a close friend with Eberle. So which team will he choose: Oilers, Canucks or Flames?

    The Calgary Flames have acquired centre Corban Knight from Florida Panthers in exchange for the Flames 4th round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft.

    Solid! Good opportunity for him. I'm just glad he didn't go to Edmonton. Too much clutter over there.

    For sure. He's better than anyone they would draft with that 4th rounder.

    Hopefully this finally puts him in Dobber's top 215. Long overdue.

    Good on Cgy and Knight - who would have had some stiff competition in Fla. Flames desperately need help.
