The Florida Panthers wrapped up plenty of important business before free agency gets underway, most notably locking down Sam Bennett, Aaron Ekblad and Brad Marchand to long-term contract extensions.
Marchand's deal was the last of the three to get finalized, but reports indicated that the 37-year-old agreed to sign a six-year, $32 million deal to remain with the organization. It's some news that comes to the delight of both Panthers fans and teammates alike.
