Here are quotes from Florida Panthers general manager Dale Tallon after the franchise signed goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, winger Brett Connolly, defenseman Anton Stralman and forward Noel Acciari in the first day of free agency on Monday.
On acquiring goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky - “We were hot after both of them (Sergei Bobrovksy and Artemi Panarin) together and it was getting closer and closer and then it looked like it might not come together so we decided that we would go in a different direction and give more balance to our team and address some of the needs that made our team better overall.
