SUNRISE, Fla. — The Panthers embarked on a five-game road trip last week with the hope they could turn their season around and get back into the playoff race.

So much for that.

After losing 5-1 in Montreal on Tuesday night, the Panthers took just one of the available 10 points as they lost the entire trip by a combined 23-9.

If this past road trip was a make-or-break part of the season for the Panthers, consider it broken.

As of Wednesday morning, the Panthers find themselves winless in 2019 and riding a seven-game losing streak into Friday’s home game against Toronto.

Now 14 points out of the playoffs, the Panthers should begin selling off assets as the NHL trade deadline arrives on Feb. 25.

General manager Dale Tallon is already working the phones.

What does Tallon have to sell?

He has plenty of players other teams want, only those are the ones he isn’t willing to part with.

So, despite fans shouting on social media for the Panthers to burn things to the ground, expect Tallon and the Panthers to clean up the front yard a bit but not do anything heavy.

The Panthers feel they are close to having a team that can compete; big renovations are not needed.

The last time Tallon was a seller at the deadline was 2014. That was the first season under owner Vinnie Viola.

Despite being in last place after firing coach Kevin Dineen and replacing him with interim coach Peter Horachek, Tallon actually added a major piece at the deadline by swinging a blockbuster with Vancouver to bring Roberto Luongo back to South Florida.

If the Panthers do anything big, maybe it will be to acquire a high-end goalie (perhaps pending free agents Sergei Bobrovsky or Semyon Varlamov) at the deadline with a long-term deal in place. But it’s more likely Florida’s goaltending situation gets worked out in the offseason.

Tallon has traded away a number of draft picks over the years to add to his squad, including his second-round pick in 2019 for Mike Hoffman this past summer.

As it stands, Florida has a first-round pick in 2019 but no second.

Tallon would like to fix that and already secured a third-round pick for Alex Petrovic last month. Tallon would seemingly be fine with acquiring more picks and perhaps some prospects — or NHL players Florida feels are being underused in their current home — for the limited inventory he has (or wants) to offer.

THE ATHLETIC: Panthers staying patient, sticking with Bob Boughner

The Panthers have just a handful of pending unrestricted free agents but a few restricted free agents — as well as veterans with additional years remaining on their contracts — they may feel it’s time to move on from.

Here’s a look at the Florida players expected to be available in the coming weeks leading into the trade deadline:

The rentals

F Troy Brouwer: The Panthers picked up Brouwer on a discount deal after he was bought out of the final two years of his four-year, $4.5 million contract with Calgary.

Although the Panthers are fine with what Brouwer has brought to the team — he has seven goals with 10 points and has slid throughout the lineup but mostly plays a bottom-six role — he’s gone unless an extension is forthcoming.

F Micheal Haley: Also on the final year of a two-year deal he signed with the Panthers in 2017, Haley could bring some fourth-line grit to a contending team.

Haley doesn’t bring much offense — he has one goal this season, which was scored in his first game back from leaving the NHLPA’s player assistance program in November — but a team looking for a little toughness may want him.

D Bogdan Kiselevich: Signed a one-year contract with the Panthers after parts of nine seasons in the KHL and made his delayed NHL debut a few games into the season after breaking his jaw in the preseason.

A stay-at-home defenseman with some size, Kiselevich has adjusted well to the NHL game and brings a veteran presence despite being in his first NHL season.

D Chris Wideman: Acquired as part of the Petrovic deal with Edmonton, Wideman played in one game with Florida before being placed on waivers and sent to the minors.

Wideman has played in 181 NHL games over the past four seasons but has been on four different teams — Ottawa, Edmonton, Florida and Springfield — since November.

F Jamie McGinn: Has been out with a back injury that needed surgery in the summer. There has been no word on a potential return.

Once thought to be part of Florida’s core, some feel Nick Bjugstad could use a change of scenery. But it would likely take a strong offer to acquire the popular 6-6 winger/center. (Jean-Yves Ahern / USA Today)

Available, with term

G James Reimer: The Panthers appear ready to make changes in net next season and Reimer would be the odd man out if Roberto Luongo returns as expected.

Reimer has two seasons remaining on his contract worth $3.4 million per. This contract is obviously difficult to move because of the term remaining but the Panthers are trying.

To move Reimer, either now or in the offseason, the Panthers are probably going to have to eat some money.

This summer, $1.3 million from buying out Jussi Jokinen comes off the books, but Florida will carry $562,500 of defenseman Jason Demers’ contract with the Coyotes for the following two seasons.

F Nick Bjugstad: This is the seventh season with the Panthers for the 6-6 winger/center and probably the fourth where he has been rumored to be on the move. Bjugstad has two years remaining on his contract at a hit of $4.1 million.

Once thought to be part of Florida’s core moving forward, some feel Bjugstad could use a change of scenery. He missed a month with injury but has been back since the Vancouver game on Sunday. It would probably take a very nice offer to pry the popular Bjugstad away from the Panthers.

C Jared McCann: With rookie centers Henrik Borgstrom and Juho Lammikko emerging in their new roles, McCann may be the odd man out once Vincent Trocheck returns next month.

Florida could slide McCann down to replace Lammikko on the fourth line but really does not want to do that for various reasons. McCann is 22 with an agreeable contract; he has one year left at $1.25 million and remains a restricted free agent.

F Colton Sceviour: A dependable bottom six player, Sceviour hasn’t scored this season the way he has chipped in over the past few seasons. Still, Sceviour brings good value at a hit of $1.2 million; he is signed for the next two seasons.

D Mark Pysyk: The 27-year-old is signed through next season at $2.7 million but is considered available and could move elsewhere in the coming weeks.

Restricted

F Denis Malgin: One of a handful of restricted free agents following this season, Malgin will likely remain part of the Panthers moving forward. Malgin is just 21 but in his third season with Florida. He has five goals this season and 22 in 129 overall.

F Frank Vatrano: The Panthers acquired Vatrano at the deadline last year from Boston and he has upped his offensive game since coming to Florida. It would be surprising to see Vatrano go anywhere unless it was part of a bigger deal.

F Jayce Hawryluk: Made his NHL debut last month when he and Borgstrom were called up from Springfield.

C Juho Lammikko: Took over centering the fourth line when Derek MacKenzie got hurt in the opener and, although his play has dropped a bit lately, appears to be the pick to continue in that role.

D Ian McCoshen: Brought back up a few weeks ago, if Florida were to deal Pysyk or Kiselevich — or both — McCoshen would likely see a bigger role at least through the end of the season.

D MacKenzie Weegar: The Panthers have been very pleased with the development of Weegar and consider him part of their plan moving forward.
