FORT LAUDERDALE — The Panthers went 15-27-6 in the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season and received the second pick in that year’s draft via the lottery. The results were better than they could have hoped. With that pick, Florida selected a Finnish center, Aleksander Barkov. With that pick, the Panthers started building the foundation with a core group of players that has taken the franchise to back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals and turned Sunrise into a hockey town. “They are the fabric, they are the core, they are the identity,” Panthers coach Paul Maurice said.
