The Florida Panthers and restricted free agent Jared McCann have agreed to a two-year contract extension, the team announced Sunday.

McCann, a 2014 Vancouver Canucks first-rounder acquired by the Panthers via trade in 2016, is coming off his three-year entry-level deal. Financial details of the forward's new contract were not disclosed.

"Jared is a versatile two-way centerman who possesses excellent speed and suits our team well," Panthers general manager Dale Tallon said. "He has improved his game during his time with our organization and we look forward to him taking the next step in his development."

McCann, 22, recorded nine goals and 19 assists in 68 games last season. The 6-foot-1, 198-pounder has accumulated 19 goals and 34 assists through 166 career NHL games.
