The Panthers have acquired Brandon Montour from the Sabres for a 2021 third-round pick.

Montour is in the final year of his contract that carries a $3.85M AAV cap-hit. Montour will help fill a void on the left-side that was created when they lost Aaron Ekblad for the season. The 27-year-old has scored five goals with nine assists, 72 shots, 53 blocks and 35 hits in 38 games with the Sabres this season.

The Panthers have signed Mason Marchment to a one-year contract extension worth $800K.

Marchment was traded from Toronto to Florida last February and has two goals and five assists (seven points) in 22 games with the Panthers in 2021. Marchment has played up-and-down the Panthers' lineup and will be a key part of their forward group next season as well.
