Panthers ink Duclair to 1-year deal reportedly worth $1.7M

The Florida Panthers signed forward Anthony Duclair to a one-year contract, the team announced Thursday.

Duclair's deal is worth $1.7 million, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.

The 25-year-old became an unrestricted free agent in October after the Ottawa Senators declined to give him a qualifying offer.

"Anthony is a dynamic and highly skilled player who is capable of being a dependable offensive contributor for our team" Panthers general manager BIll Zito said. "He possesses tremendous speed and goal scoring ability and earned an opportunity to be named an NHL All-Star last season. We're excited to welcome Anthony and look forward to what he can add to our team."

Duclair notched a career-high 23 goals while adding 17 assists through 66 games with the Senators in 2019-20.
