The Dallas Stars have signed winger Mason Marchment to a four-year contract with an average annual value of approximately $4.5 million, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
Marchment is coming off a breakout year in which he tallied 18 goals and 47 points in 54 games with the Florida Panthers while averaging 14:07 of ice time per contest. His underlying numbers were impressive, too:

He brings considerable size, forechecking ability, and physicality to Dallas. He's listed at 6-foot-4, 209 pounds, and threw 114 hits last year.
Marchment is just 27, making him one of the younger UFAs available. However, he had only registered 11 points in 37 career NHL games before last season.
He's the son of the late Bryan Marchment, who played 17 years in the NHL.
