The former Bruins top prospect has signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Florida Panthers that’ll pay him either $775,000 in the NHL or $450,000 in the AHL, according to The Athletic. At training camp in Florida, he’ll reunite with Brad Marchand, who just agreed to a six-year extension to remain with the Panthers.

Sure, there's the taxes. But there's also elite team-building and a culture that players adore. GM Bill Zito: "They stayed to win, period."

With the help of their state not having income tax, Florida re-signed forward Brad Marchand and defenseman Aaron Ekblad on Monday, a day before the start of NHL free agency. Marchand, 37, signed a six-year contract with a $5.25 million average annual value, while Ekblad, 29, got an eight-year contract with a $6.1 million AAV.
