“Jonah has become an integral part of our locker room and a strong contributor for our group on the ice,” general manager Bill Zito said. “He possesses a fearless attitude and unrelenting competitiveness, and we are excited for Jonah to continue with us in South Florida.”<\/p>\n

The extension was announced on Gadjovich’s 27th birthday.<\/p>\n

Through three games this season, Gadjovich has one assist and a team-high-tying 11 hits for the Panthers.<\/p>\n

He has 19 points in 163 career games with Florida, San Jose<\/a> and Vancouver<\/a>. During his time with the Panthers, Gadjovich is averaging a team-best 19.7 hits per 60 minutes.<\/p>\n

He was a second-round pick by Vancouver, going No. 55 overall, in the 2017 NHL draft.<\/p>\n

Gadjovich, who could have become an unrestricted free agent after this season, is the 11th forward the Panthers have under contract for next season already — joining Aleksander Barkov<\/a>, Matthew Tkachuk<\/a>, Sam Reinhart<\/a>, Sam Bennett<\/a>, Carter Verhaeghe<\/a>, Brad Marchand<\/a>, Anton Lundell<\/a>, Evan Rodrigues<\/a>, Eetu Luostarinen<\/a> and Jesper Boqvist<\/a>.<\/p>\n
