Evan Nause: Not qualified by Florida
The Panthers did not give a qualifying offer to Nause on Monday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Nause was a second-round draft pick by Florida in 2021, but he seemingly isn't close to making his NHL debut. The defenseman has only nine games of AHL experience, which came during the 2023-24 campaign with the Checkers. Nause put up four goals and 22 points over 65 outings with ECHL Savannah in 2025-26.
