Sunrise, FL - The Florida Panthers agreed to terms on a two- year contract with right wing Radek Dvorak on Sunday.
Dvorak, 30, spent last season with the St. Louis Blues and appeared in all 82 games, totaling 10 goals and 27 assists.
'Radek brings to our club a tremendous amount of veteran leadership having played in more than 800 games, while advancing to the Stanley Cup Finals twice,' said general manager and head coach Jacques Martin. 'He is a hard working and focused player who plays well at both ends of the ice. We are confident that Radek is the type of player that will fit into our line-up well and play a pivotal role in bringing continued success and stability to our organization.'
It will be Dvorak's second stint with the Panthers. He was drafted by the team with the 10th overall choice in the 1995 draft and played with the club from the 1995-96 season until being traded to the New York Rangers roughly halfway through the 1999-2000 season.
In 12 seasons in the NHL, which also included two-plus seasons in Edmonton, he has appeared in 828 games and has tallied 171 goals and 278 assists.
Also on Sunday, Florida signed forwards Richard Zednik and Brett McLean.
