In his season wrap-up press conference, Panthers GM Dale Tallon was asked a question regarding Florida becoming a desirable location for free agents.
His response?
"I think we sent a message to everyone in the hockey world that this is the place to be," said Tallon back on May 1. "Why wouldn?t you want to be here?"
Though not a free agent himself and with one year left on his own contract, Tallon and the Panthers decided Wednesday that Florida was indeed a place he should be for the foreseeable future, inking a multi-year extension with the club.
"I'm excited," said Tallon Wednesday. "This is a great opportunity to keep the franchise on the right path. We had a good season and I just want to build on this past season the next couple of years."
"We are very pleased to have agreed to a contract extension with Dale," said Panthers General Partner Cliff Viner in a statement. "Over the last two years, he has worked tirelessly to re-position our team and hockey operations department. Our team?s success can be attributed directly to Dale?s passion, leadership and the motivation that he has instilled in our organization."
