Panthers Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 21:17:25 PDT

With Olli Jokinen off to the Arizona desert, the Panthers went into free agency looking for a little scoring and perhaps a little leadership. Florida believes it found both in veteran winger Cory Stillman.

Stillman, 34, signed a three-year deal with the Panthers worth close to $11 million.

Stillman comes to the Panthers after splitting the 2007-08 season with Carolina and Ottawa, heading to the Senators around the trade deadline as Ottawa tried to right its season. Stillman ended with 24 goals and 41 assists last season—six points fewer than Jokinen scored for the Panthers.

"He can bring not only some of the production we've lost, but great character," general manager Jacques Martin said.
