Panthers will not ask Yandle to waive no-movement clause

Keith Yandle is not going anywhere.

That's because the Florida Panthers will not be asking the defenseman to waive his no-movement clause, and haven't asked him to in the past, the team said on Monday, according to George Richards of the Miami Herald.

Yandle is coming off his first season with the Panthers after signing a seven-year, $44.45-million deal last June. He represents a cap hit of $6.35 million for each of the next six seasons.

While that is a lot of money, Yandle led all Panthers defensemen in scoring with 41 points while playing in all 82 games this past season. The 30-year-old also averaged the most ice time on the team, logging 22:02 a night.

Yandle also shared the team lead in power-play points with forward Jonathan Marchessault, posting 18 with the man advantage.
