The Matadors will move in to the Miami Arena vacated by the Panthers' move to the new Broward County arena. The Florida Panthers introduce Terry Murray, brother of current General Manager Bryan Murray as their new head coach. Fans are disconsolate. Several minor leaguers are also included in the trade along with a conditional draft pick. Bill Torrey cans Terry Murray after he wins 6 games out of 36.

Original Panther and current Captain, Scott Mellanby was traded to the Saint Louis Blues for a conditional draft pick, leaving only two original Panthers.
