The Panthers placed winger\u00a0Anton Lundmark<\/a>\u00a0on unconditional waivers today, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet<\/a>. He\u2019ll have his contract terminated tomorrow after he clears, and will become an unrestricted free agent.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a rapid end to Lundmark\u2019s time in the Florida organization. The 24-year-old Swede signed a one-year, entry-level pact with the Cats<\/a> in April as an undrafted free agent out of the Swedish Hockey League\u2019s Timr\u00e5 IK.<\/p>\n

At the time, it was a highly puzzling move. The 6\u20194\u2033, 192-lb Lundmark had never been on the public radar. Last season was the first time he\u2019d ever suited up in the top tier of European professional hockey. All of his previous experience had come in the second and third divisions of Swedish hockey, even spending a few games in the fifth and sixth tiers earlier on in his development.<\/p>\n

Even then, he wasn\u2019t much more than a fourth-line penalty-killing piece for Timr\u00e5. In 49 games, he only registered five goals and nine points with a +2 rating.<\/p>\n

Those numbers weren\u2019t conducive to Lundmark having much of an impact in the minors, let alone coming anywhere close to landing an NHL job. In nine games with AHL Charlotte, he\u2019s been held without a point and has a -2 rating. He\u2019s been a healthy scratch for nearly half their schedule and has sat out of four of Charlotte\u2019s last six games.<\/p>\n

Lundmark\u2019s previous contract with Timr\u00e5 ran through 2025-26 and contained an NHL out-clause. Since they still hold his rights, he\u2019s presumably returning there for the balance of the campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Panthers placed winger\u00a0Anton Lundmark\u00a0on unconditional waivers today, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
