'Tis the season for tryout contracts.

After reports that former Winnipeg Jets defenseman Adam Pardy had agreed to a professional tryout with the Florida Panthers, the team confirmed the news on Thursday. The Panthers noted that former Minnesota Wild forward Justin Fontaine would also be coming to camp on a tryout basis.

Fontaine played three seasons with the Wild, though he's coming off a career-worst campaign where he posted just five goals and 16 points in 60 games.

Pardy and Fontaine were not the only ones to ink tryout agreements as, according to James Mirtle of The Globe and Mail, three other players nabbed deals as well.

Players  Team Offering PTO Former Team '15-16 PTS
Eric Nystrom Blues Predators 7
Yan Stastny Blues Wild Wings (DEL) 20
Zach Boychuk Coyotes Condors/ Checkers (AHL) 30

Nystrom is the only player of the three to see time in the NHL last season, dressing in 46 games for the Predators.
