The Panthers gave up on Russian winger Evgenii Dadonov on Wednesday, trading him and center A.J. Jenks to Carolina for a pair of prospects. Dadonov was Florida's lone representative at last year's All-Star Weekend (he played in the future game) but had a poor training camp and was sent to AHL San Antonio soon after the season started.
Dadonov, 22, played in 15 games for the Panthers this season with two goals and an assist. He had eight goals in 36 games last season.
Florida got AHL center Jonathan Matsumoto and 20-year-old winger Mattias Lindstrom from the Hurricanes. Lindstrom, a third round pick in 2009, is playing in Sweden this year.
