Forsling signs 8-year contract with Panthers | NHL.com Defenseman could have become unrestricted free agent after this season

MARCH 7 • NHL.COM

Gustav Forsling - Inks eight-year deal Forsling agreed to terms on an eight-year, $46 million contract with Florida on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Forsling is on exactly the same pace as he was last season when he set personal bests in goals (13) and assists (28), so he should be capable of replicating those numbers this year. The 27-year-old blueliner doesn't see significant power-play opportunities, so the bulk of his production has to come at even strength. Still, with a long-term deal in hand, Forsling should continue to offer decent mid-range value for fantasy players.

Jonah Gadjovich - Inked a two-year deal Gadjovich has agreed to a two-year deal with the Panthers on Thursday, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

Impact Gadjovich has been a solid bottom-six forward for the Panthers this year, recording two goals and two assists in 33 games. The 25-year-old has been great on the penalty kill and his physicality has shown, logging 71 hits and 11 blocked shots.

William Lockwood - On waivers Lockwood was placed on waivers Wednesday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Impact Lockwood has one assist in 26 contests this season. The Panthers have made him a healthy scratch in three of their last six games, and it would make sense to send him to the minors after acquiring Vladimir Tarasenko from Ottawa.

Vladimir Tarasenko - Headed to Sunshine State Tarasenko was traded to the Panthers by the Senators on Wednesday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

Impact Tarasenko may not be the 30-goal scorer he was back in St. Louis but he should still slot into a top-six role with the Panthers, possibly relegating Nick Cousins to the third line. In addition, the 32-year-old Tarasenko should get some power-play minutes as well considering he has registered eight of his 41 points this season with the man advantage. Based on reports, the return for the Russian winger is expected to be two draft picks, per Wayne Scanlan of Sportsnet.

Matthew Tkachuk - Three helpers in Jersey Tkachuk notched three assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Devils.

Impact It's the sixth multi-point performance in the last 12 games for Tkachuk, who's erupted for five goals and 20 points over that stretch. A sluggish start to the season could result in the 26-year-old winger failing to reach 100 points for the third straight campaign, but he's doing his best to make up the difference and is now up to 68 points (21 goals, 47 helpers) through 61 contests.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

Nick Cousins - Lights lamp twice in win Cousins scored two goals including the game-winner in Tuesday's 5-3 victory over the Devils.

Impact After getting the Panthers on the board early in the first period, Cousins put his squad up 4-2 early in the third by tipping home a Gustav Forsling point shot. Cousins came into Tuesday with only one goal and six points in 49 games on the season, but he was skating on the second line with Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Bennett in this one -- an assignment that could lead to some short-term fantasy value.

Anthony Stolarz - Nabs fourth straight win Stolarz made 21 saves in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Devils.

Impact The Panthers never trailed in the back-and-forth affair, and Stolarz eventually came away with his fourth straight win. The 30-year-old netminder hasn't given up more than three goals in an outing since Jan. 15, going 6-2-0 over his last eight starts with a 1.85 GAA and .933 save percentage.
