The Florida Panthers have been falling apart since the team was bought from Wayne Huizenga back in 2001 and now majority owner Alan Cohen wants a little less to do with it. He's apparently trying to sell his majority ownership to his minority owners, Cliff Viner and Stuart Siegel, according to The Inquirer.
Since Cohen and friends bought the team, it's been losing steam - and money. The team has supposedly lost $100 million in that time. Last year, it averaged 15,621 disgruntled fans, 24th in the league. The team also has the infamy of being involved in some lopsided trades in the past few years, including the one that sent goaltender Roberto Luongo(notes) to the Vancouver Canucks.

Alexander Frolov(notes) once scored 35 goals in a season but that's not enough for the Los Angeles Kings to keep him around, according to Bleacher Report.
Frolov was a healthy scratch on Monday night when the Kings took on the Dallas Stars and head coach Terry Murray has been pretty vocal about how unhappy he is with Frolov. The pair apparently have met 10 times to discuss it so far this season. That's more meetings than actual games played so far.
It's looking like Frolov is on the trading block. GM Dean Lombardi said, "He's either going to get on board or we'll go in another direction with him. It's as simple as that."
He'll cost any team he goes to $2.9 million against the salary cap. Word is that the San Jose Sharks, Colorado Avalanche, Minnesota Wild, Vancouver Canucks, Detroit Red Wings, Nashville Predators, Montreal Canadiens, New Jersey Devils, Pittsburgh Penguins all could have some interest.
