SUNRISE (CBSMiami) – The Florida Panthers are going to start the 2019-20 season with higher expectations than the team has had at any time during this millennium.
Maybe ever.
A busy offseason that began with the hiring of Joel Quenneville, the head coach with the second-most NHL wins of all time, has now seen the Panthers fill their biggest roster needs, starting in goal.
Free agent Sergei Bobrovsky, by far the most coveted goaltender to hit the open market in several years, has agreed to sign with the Panthers.
The deal runs for 7 years and is worth $70 million, with an average annual value (AAV) of $10 million per season.
