Nathan Horton's tenure with the Panthers appears to be coming to an end, as the young right wing is expected to be traded within the next 10 days, reports the South-Florida Sun-Sentinel.
"It would not surprise me at all if he's dealt by the draft," Horton's agent Paul Krepelka told the paper. "If it happens, it happens."
Horton, 25, has three-years left on his contract at an annual salary cap hit of $4 million. His no-trade clause kicks in July 1.
According to the Sun-Sentinel, several teams are interested in Horton, including the Buffalo Sabres.
The paper suggests the Sabres could move Derek Roy or Tim Connolly as part of a deal for Horton.
Various reports have also linked the Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens and Vancouver Canucks to having interest in Horton.
Meanwhile, it's also believed the Panthers are actively shopping center Stephen Weiss.
Goalie Tomas Vokoun is not expected to be moved, however, despite being the subject of many trade rumors.

Re: Rumor including the Leafs name
In my living room-> I live alone & can to what I want when I want.
This kid is a beast, all he needs is a change of scenery... I'd obviously prefer the Leafs, however any hockey market will wake his ass up & improve my BBKL team. Just to be clear; every team in the league would love to have Nathan, especially if he wakes up, but even his sleeping seasons are rather solid (60pts, lots of close to ppg), and he plays way way better when you play him tough (ask Dion after he gave him a chop and got a harder one back... watching alpha males clash is a great event).

i'm sure your opinion of him would quickly change, the guys is JUST under PPG, and he's got a bunch of nasty in his play -> if you get him going.
Re: Rumor including the Leafs name
IF thats the key word. If he always got going panthers wouldnt dream of trading him lol. I hate wastes of talent. Give me that talent and size I would do way more with it!
