The Florida Panthers added a quintet of unrestricted free agents on Wednesday, signing forwards Colin White and Nick Cousins, defensemen Marc Staal and Anthony Bitetto and goaltender Alex Lyon.
General manager Bill Zito also inked undrafted defenseman Nathan Staios to an entry-level deal and signed 37-year-old forward Eric Staal to a professional try-out.
White signed a one-year deal worth $1.2 million. He is a former first round pick of the Ottawa Senators, selected with the 21st pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. The 25-year-old appeared in 24 games with the Senators last season and produced three goals and 10 points.
