Verhaeghe (lower body) is ready for the start of training camp, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports Thursday.
Verhaeghe had 25 goals and 55 points in 77 regular-season appearances with the Panthers in 2025-26. He skated alongside Sam Bennett and Matthew Tkachuk during Thursday's line rushes. Head coach Paul Maurice did suggest that it would be one of Florida's lines "if we had to drop the puck tonight," but the Panthers will presumably continue to evaluate their options ahead of the season opener.
