Bobrovsky will start the Panthers season opener on Thursday.
Bennett (COVID-19 protocol) returned to practice on Monday.
Bennett was forced to miss Saturday's preseason game due to COVID-19 protocol but was back on the ice for Monday's practice session. This is a good sign for his availability for the Panthers' season opener vs. the Penguins on Thursday.
The Panthers have signed Aleksander Barkov to an eight-year, $80 million contract extension.
Barkov is entering the final year of a six-year, $35.4M deal and is now signed through the 2030 NHL season. The $10.0M AAV cap-hit for Barkov represents a $4.1M AAV raise for the 26-year-old. Barkov is coming off of a season in which he scored 26 goals with 32 assists (58 points) in 50 games.
The Sharks have claimed Jonah Gadjovich off waivers from the Canucks.
Gadjovich was a second-round pick of the Canucks in 2017 but has played just one NHL game since. The 22-year-old winger has spent all of his time in the AHL, where he had 15 goals and three assists (18 points) in 19 games a season ago.
The Sharks have re-signed Noah Gregor to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Blackhawks have re-signed MacKenzie Entwistle to a two-year contract.
The Panthers have re-signed Sam Reinhart to a three-year, $19.5 million contract.
The Devils have re-signed A.J. Greer to a one-year, two-way contract.
The WIld have signed Dmitry Kulikov to a two-year, $4.5 million contract.
The Blackhawks have signed Seth Jones to an eight-year, $76 million contract extension.
The Panthers have signed Carter Verhaeghe to a three-year contract extension worth $12.50 million ($4.167M AAV).
The Bruins have signed Tomas Nosek to a two-year contract worth $3.5 million ($1.75M AAV).
The Penguins have signed Evan Rodrigues to a one-year deal worth $1.0 million.
The Panthers have signed Sam Bennett to a four-year, $17.6 million contract extension.
Bennett's career with the Flames did not go as planned but he paid immediate dividends once arriving in Florida. The 25-year-old had 15 points (6G / 9A) in 10 regular seasons games and five points (1G / 4A) in five playoff games. Bennett seems to have solidified the Panthers' 2C role behind Aleksander Barkov and signed for a very affordable $4.4M AAV. Pairing up with Jonathan Huberdeau on the second line should help Bennett have his best season to date in 2021-22.
The Panthers have acquired Sam Reinhart from the Sabres for Devon Levi and a '22 1st round pick.
Reinhart is an RFA, so he'll need a new deal with the Panthers but is a huge addition to their top-6 for 2021-22. Reinhart has scored 20-plus goals in four straight seasons, averaging 27 goals and 32 assists (59 points) per 82 games over that span. Whether it's with Aleksander Barkov or Sam Bennett, Reinhart should receive a big fantasy boost by moving from Buffalo to Florida.
