After being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs against the Lightning, the Florida Panthers made some notable additions this summer. In addition to the contracts offered to forwards Anthony Duclair and Sam Bennett, the team announced today that they have reached an agreement with Sam Reinhart.
Reinhart, who was acquired in return for a first round pick and goaltender Devon Levi, had a strong season last year with Buffalo, reaching the 25-goal plateau.
Expectations will certainly be high for Florida next season, especially after last year's heartbreaking elimination. It will also be interesting to follow the rivalry between the Panthers and the Lightning that took another dimension during the previous season.
