The Florida Panthers have re-signed Aaron Ekblad to an 8-year contract with a $6.1 million cap hit.
Ekblad left some money on the table to stay with the Panthers, as Bob McKenzie reports there’s reason to believe he might have gotten $9 million per season on the open market.
Ekblad, 29, had 3 goals and 30 assists in 56 games with the Panthers last season. He missed 20 games with a PED suspension.
