From a Panthers perspective, Montour and Hornqvist are likely candidates to be cap dumped this summer, so maybe there have been preliminary discussions between Zito and Yzerman.
But if he was looking at a Panther, I'd guess he wants to see as much of Mason Marchment as possible. He's a pending UFA who was a minor leaguer two years ago, established himself as a bottom 6er this season, and now is having a career year. Maybe Yzerman is considering aggressively pursuing Marchment this summer and wants to make sure that he's not making a mistake.

Or maybe he's looking at moving Nick Leddy to Florida and wants to see what is worth coming back in a trade?

This is what i'm think as well, Leddy would be much cheaper then Florida going after either Chychrun or Lindholm.

The morning puck reported that these were the following lines for the panthers last night.

Who does Detroit realistically want from that roster?

I'd imagine that Bill Zito would be looking at moving Patric Hornqvist $5.3mil for a season so something around Leddy for Hornqvist and a pick might not be a bad thing.
Florida will have about $3,845,014 in cap space at the deadline so Nick Leddy with retention would be a viable option without a cap dump coming back. Of course Detroit would likely be open to taking a contract back to facilitate a decent deal.

There's speculation of it, Just don't see Brannstrom being an Yzerman target he's just too small for what Yzerman likes in a Dman.

I think Zadina would work well with Stutzle. Or better than anyone we currently have.
Dynamic playmaker with a dynamic shooter.

This could be Yzerman doing his due diligence on Colin White. Yzerman likes to go after younger guys he thinks could find another gear in a bigger or different role if he can get them cheap - Erne, Suter, Ned, Stephens, Vrana, Fabbri. It doesn’t always work out but you can always see the reasoning behind it. White fits that mold and he can play center. Detroit needs centers. White just turned 25, so he fits in with Detroit’s timeline. And all things considered, he definitely wouldn’t cost much to acquire.
Ultimately, I doubt White made enough of an impression on Yzerman for him to take on that contract, and I can’t see Ottawa retaining to move White, but I could see why Yzerman would try to find out if there’s a 50 point center hiding inside White’s game.

did injuries happen?
Cuz he had a pretty decent shot from what I remember, even for the NHL level.
His shot itself is above average but his shot placement and timing are annoyingly bad. So many shots blocked cause he takes too long to get the shot off or shots wasted cause he puts it right into the goalie or misses altogether. He’s a surprisingly solid player in a lot of other ways but his knack for scoring is thus far non-existent.

A trade like that wouldn't seem to make much sense for Detroit at this time. Yzerman should have numerous options in free agency or via trade this offseason to acquire a better C than White. If they struck out on all their offseason targets then maybe you'd look at this type of deal. Even still, is White really that much of an upgrade on Suter if at all?...Veleno is starting to come on a bit and should be plenty capable of handling 3C duties next year. Would like to see Yzerman be more selective at this point, targeting high end players/assets, instead of just accumulating more bodies
Horny isn’t going anywhere, I don’t get why Panther fans keep bringing this up, I understand the cap gets tight after this season and he’s a supposed “obvious choice,” but he was Zito’s first trade, is HUGE in the room (which is why he was brought in), and he has a modified NTC. He ain’t going to a team he doesn’t think he can win at imo.
Same is likely true with Montour as he was just re-signed, but I wouldn’t be as surprised if he was moved out.

I'd be interested in Zadina, too, but trading Brown for a non-proven NHLer, be it a top 4 D or top 6 F, is a disaster waiting to happen. Hell, even with Brown we need another top 4 D and top 6 F.
As a Wings fan I am with you. Horny is not the type of guy you move when you are trying to gear up for a long playoff run.
