What happened: The Florida Panthers have agreed to terms with forward Bokondji Imama on a one-year, two-way contract worth $850,000. The deal keeps the physical winger in the organization heading into the 2026-27 season, with the two-way structure allowing him to move between the NHL club and its AHL affiliate.

Why it matters: Two-way depth signings give the Panthers flexibility to reinforce their bottom six and fill in for injuries without straining the salary cap. The move continues a busy Florida offseason that has also seen the club re-sign forward Sandis Vilmanis to a two-year extension, as the reigning contender rounds out its roster.

What to watch: Watch whether Imama earns a full-time NHL role in training camp or opens the 2026-27 season with Florida's AHL affiliate.
