Report: A disgruntled forward has demanded a trade!

It looks like we can add yet another name to the trading block. Sean Bergenheim’s days in a Florida Panthers uniform could come to an end soon, as it has been reported that the disgruntled winger’s camp has requested a trade from the team. Harvey Fialkov of the Sun Sentinel reports that Bergenheim’s agent, Todd Diamond, has requested a trade for his client following a series of healthy scratches. Diamond told the Sun Sentinel recent criticism from Panthers head coach Gerard Gallant was “unprofessional …disgraceful…distasteful and bush league.” Gallant responded prior to Friday’s game saying “I haven’t picked on [Bergenheim]. If he gave me 100 percent [against the Wild], he’d be playing tonight. That’s fair.” Diamond definitely did not mince words when speaking about his client's unfair treatment. “It’s unprofessional of the coach,” Diamond said. “You get away with that in the Quebec junior league, but not in the NHL. … You can’t tell me the team is better without Sean playing, even on the fourth line. He’s a disruptive force in the offensive zone, who keeps the puck and creates chaos.” Bergenheim has eight goals and 18 points in 39 games to go along with a plus-2 plus/minus rating. The 31-year-old is averaging 14:09 per night, and is among the top five leaders in Corsi on the Panthers this season. Bergenheim carries a cap hit of $2.75 million and is in the final year of his contract. He could make for a nice addition to a contender looking to solidify its bottom six forwards with a proven two-way player. Is there a team that would consider adding Bergenheim to the mix.
