The Florida Panthers continue to bring back their core after winning the Stanley Cup, re-signing Brad Marchand to a six-year deal.

The Florida Panthers agreed to a six-year extension with the forward that’s worth just under $32 million, SportsNet’s Elliotte Friedman reported on Monday. The Panthers, who signed Aaron Ekblad to an eight-year extension earlier in the day, were left with about $5.75 million in cap space.
