The Florida Panthers have made another big splash in free agency, landing defenseman Anton Stralman on a three-year contract, the team announced Monday.

The deal is worth $5.5 million per season, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.

Florida also signed goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky to a monster seven-year deal earlier Monday and reportedly agreed to a four-year pact with forward Brett Connolly.

Stralman, 32, is a steady right-shot veteran and should help shore up a Panthers blue line in need of depth.

The Swedish defenseman spent the last five seasons with the Tampa Bay Lightning and put up 17 points across 47 games in 2018-19 while averaging over 20 minutes per contest.
