2009–10 Florida Panthers season

The 2009–10 Florida Panthers season was the 16th season for the franchise in the National Hockey League. After earning 77 points in the season, the Panthers did not qualify for the playoffs.

Off-season
The Panthers moved their training facilities and administrative center to the 'Incredible Ice' complex in Coral Springs, Florida. A new $10 million, 50000 ft2 expansion was built to accommodate the Panthers.

On June 1, 2009, General Manager Jacques Martin resigned his position to become the head coach of the Montreal Canadiens. Assistant General Manager Randy Sexton assumed the duties of general manager on an interim basis, and was named general manager just prior to the start of the season. This is Sexton's second time as an NHL general manager. He was the Ottawa Senators general manager in the early 1990s. After the season, the Panthers replaced Sexton with new general manager, Dale Tallon.

Playoffs
The Panthers failed to make the playoffs for the ninth consecutive season. They have not qualified for the playoffs since the 1999–2000 season.
