George Richards of the Miami Herald: The Panthers will be getting an $86 million financial package from Broward Coutny, and co-owner Doug Cifu said they will continue to invest on their on-ice product. The Panthers have a young core that will need new contracts soon – Aleksander Barkov, Jonathan Huberdeau (signed through next year), Erik Gudbranson and Aaron Ekblad.
“We want to focus now on how we fit guys in under the salary cap,” Cifu said. “Our commitment is to take the great guys we know are the foundation of our franchise and keep them here for the long haul, build a nucleus of players who want to be winners here.”

Nick Bjugstad signed a six-year, $25 million extension last year. Barkov and Grudbranson will be RFAs.

Other pending RFAs include Brandon Pirri, Vincent Trocheck, Connor Brickley, Logan Shaw and Quinton Howden.

The Panthers will have new jerseys and a logo for next season.
