The Florida Panthers have made a change at the draft table.
On the heels of a complete restructuring of the front office, the Panthers have fired longtime director of scouting and player personnel Scott Luce - a scout that's received plaudits for his work in recent seasons.
Newly-appointed general manager Tome Rowe told George Richards of the Miami Herald that simply, "we wanted a different voice."
Luce prepared the selections of Aaron Ekblad, Aleksander Barkov, Jonathan Huberdeau, and Erik Gudbranson in the lottery position over the last several years, but his finest work may be overseeing the selections of Nick Bjugstad 19th overall in 2010, and Vincent Trocheck 64th overall a year later.
Pundits expect Luce to be in demand.
