Gus Forsling: Star Continues to Rise with the Florida Panthers (+)

Of all the players who became breakout stars during the Florida Panthers run to the Stanley Cup championship this year, few saw their stock rise more than defenseman Gus Forsling.

Sure, those who have watched the Panthers over the past couple of years realize how good Forsling is.

Now, it seems, everyone does.

On Wednesday night, NHL Network unveiled their Top 20 defensemen and, for the first time, Forsling was included — all the way at No. 6.
