Sam Reinhart is staying with the Florida Panthers.
Last season’s 57-goal scorer was playing on an expiring contract and would have been an unrestricted free agent at 3 p.m. Monday.

That won’t be the case though.
Reinhart and the Panthers came to terms on a new, eight-year deal, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman.
Florida was able to sign Reinhart to the eighth year because the deal was agreed to before the midnight deadline.
The former 2014 second overall selection has played each of the past three seasons with Florida after being part of a draft day trade with Buffalo during the summer of 2021.
Terms of the deal have yet to be released, but the Panthers are expected to announce the deal on Monday.
