Open Extended ReactionsHours after re-signing Aaron Ekblad, the Florida Panthers kept another integral piece of their Stanley Cup team by re-signing Brad Marchand to a six-year contract extension, sources told ESPN's Emily Kaplan. Coming to terms with Ekblad on an eight-year extension worth $6.1 million annually left the Panthers with what PuckPedia projected to be $4.9 million in salary cap space. That includes the two goals he scored in the Panthers' 5-4 double-overtime win to tie the series with his second being the game-winning salvo. Capturing a consecutive title created questions about whether the Panthers can win a third in a row. He began by signing Bennett to an eight-year contract worth $8 million annually on June 27 before using Monday to sign Ekblad and Marchand.
