The Florida Panthers acquired forward Jiri Hudler from the Calgary Flames and defenseman Jakub Kindl from the Detroit Red Wings in separate trades Saturday.

"We are very pleased to welcome Jiri to the Panthers," general manager Dale Tallon said. "He is a highly skilled and experienced player that adds leadership, character and offensive ability to our team."

The Flames received the Panthers' second-round pick in the 2016 NHL Draft and fourth-round pick in the 2018 NHL Draft.

Hudler had an NHL career-high 31 goals and 76 points in 78 games last season. He has 155 goals and 406 points in 657 regular-season games with the Detroit Red Wings and Flames.
