Look: Pysyk signs contract while mowing lawn
Very excited to be back with @FlaPanthers for 3 more years! Still got some work to do to get a real ride on mower. #jumbojoe #legend pic.twitter.com/gPfaCd0RYN

Mark Pysyk is really putting in work this offseason - yard work, that is.
The Florida Panthers announced the signing of the 25-year-old defenseman to a three-year deal Thursday. Pysyk posed for a photo in which he put pen to paper while sitting on a lawn mower - though it was a push mower, unlike the riding mower Joe Thornton signed his contract upon Sunday.

Carey Price also said he was mowing his lawn when his agent called about his extension with the Montreal Canadiens.
With Pysyk's new deal set to pay him an annual average of $2.73 million, that seems like a good start on getting that riding mower - or possibly hiring someone to mow the lawn for him.
