Bob Boughner is Florida's new coach, introduced at a news conference Monday afternoon. The former NHL defenseman becomes the 15th coach in the franchise's 24-year history, and its fifth since 2011.

General manager Dale Tallon said Boughner sees the game in a modern way and is the right leader to get the Panthers back toward competing for the Stanley Cup. Tallon said Boughner blew away the team with his interview late last month.
