Bobrovsky signed a three-year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Florida also lost forwards Evan Rodrigues<\/a>, Jesper Boqvist<\/a> and Mackie Samoskevich<\/a>\u00a0in their recent flurry of moves. Rodrigues and Boqvist went to the Devils in the Markstrom deal, and Samoskevich was traded to the Seattle Kraken on June 21.<\/p>\n \u201cTough to lose people,\u201d Zito said.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Panthers did move to sign other existing players to new contracts. On Wednesday, they signed forward Eetu Luostarinen<\/a>\u00a0to an eight-year contract and top forward prospect Sandis Vilmanis to a two-year deal, each beginning with the 2027-28 season.<\/p>\n Defenseman Radko Gudas<\/a> signed a six-year contract with Florida on Wednesday, two days after the pending unrestricted free agent had his rights traded from the Anaheim Ducks for the rights to forward A.J. Greer<\/a>, also a pending unrestricted free agent. Greer signed a four-year deal with Anaheim on Wednesday.<\/p>\n Gudas is returning to the Panthers after playing three seasons for them from 2020-23.<\/p>\n \u201cFits like a glove,\u201d Zito said of Gudas. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to have him back.\u201d<\/p>\n Forward Cole Schwindt<\/a>, who did not receive a qualifying offer from Florida on Monday, allowing him to become a free agent, ended up signing a new two-year contract with the Panthers on Wednesday. Similarly, defenseman Donovan Sebrango<\/a> also re-signed with the Panthers on Wednesday, getting a one-year deal after being able to become a free agent.\u00a0<\/p>\n Florida also signed Eller to a one-year contract and Petrovic to a two-year deal.<\/p>\n After all of that activity, the Panthers now seem to be set.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a lot,\u201d Zito said of the additions and subtractions in recent days.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I looked at this sheet, I said \u2018Really?\u2019 It\u2019s fun, actually. You\u2019re building something. I\u2019m not scoring any goals or making any saves, but \u2026 there\u2019s a little bit of pride, and I\u2019m very proud.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bobrovsky signed a three-year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday.\u00a0 Florida also lost forwards Evan Rodrigues,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":738365,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":["post-738364","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/738364","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=738364"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/738364\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/738365"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=738364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=738364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=738364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
