Panthers GM Tallon on shopping No. 1 overall pick: 'I've already had a few guys kicking tires'

The first overall pick at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft belongs to the Florida Panthers for the moment, but the opportunity to select between man-child defender Aaron Ekblad, and smart two-way centerman Sam Reinhart at the top of the draft is for sale. 

"I've already had a few guys kicking tires (on the first overall pick)," Panthers general manager Dale Tallon told USA Today's Kevin Allen this week. "We are going to get more calls."

Tallon suggested to Allen that while the Panthers aren't ruling anything out, and may still use the first overall selection, they'd be open to moving the pick to a team offering a top-of-the-lineup defenseman in return. 

"When I look at my team, I would like to add a couple of top-notch veteran (defenders)," Tallon said.
