Trevor Kidd

Trevor Kidd landed with the Florida Panthers for the 1999-00 season following a draft-day trade and quickly flashed the talent that made him a former first-round pick. The flamboyant netminder, known for his flashy goalie gear and acrobatic style, started the year strong before a fluke shoulder injury during a team skills competition sidelined him for a significant stretch. Despite the setback, Kidd battled back to appear in 28 games, registering 14 wins, a solid 2.63 goals-against average, and a .915 save percentage to help the Panthers secure a playoff berth. This resilient debut season kicked off a three-year tenure in South Florida, adding to a steady 12-year NHL career that ultimately featured 140 wins and 19 shutouts over 387 total games.
