The Florida Panthers signed Tomas Nosek to a one-year deal worth $775,000, retaining all forwards from their Stanley Cup-final game against the Edmonton Oilers. This move keeps the roster intact, with five defensemen and goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky also contracted. The team is currently over the salary cap by about $1 million but can manage this during the offseason. Nosek, while limited to 59 regular-season games last season, played a vital role in the playoffs, credited with boosting the team’s performance during crucial matches.
Nosek only played in 59 regular season games for Florida last season, missing time early due to injury and then being a healthy scratch at points down the stretch.
The Panthers are also re-signing fourth-line forward Tomas Nosek to a one-year deal, with reports Tuesday morning saying the deal is for the league minimum $775,000.
Nosek was pivotal during Florida's playoff run, with coach Paul Maurice crediting Nosek's line with A.J. Greer and Jonah Gadjovich on the wings as being the spark the team needed.
The deals to bring back Bennett, Ekblad, Marchand and Nosek have the Panthers about $1 million over the salary cap before factoring in salaries for restricted free agents.
