Welcome to all as we embark on a shortened summer of free agent signings. Florida Panthers general manager Bill Zito has been a busy bee during the early stages of his sophomore offseason and has very few, if any NHL roster spots left to fill, so I wouldn’t expect much in the way of fireworks from our hometown team.
According to CapFriendly, the Panthers have just over $10 million in projected cap space after last night’s re-signing of defenseman Brandon Montour.
A sizeable chunk of that money will go to re-upping restricted free agent forward Samson Reinhart, who was acquired from the Buffalo Sabres this past weekend.
