The Florida Panthers re-signed forward Anthony Duclair to a three-year contract, the team announced Thursday.
The deal carries an average annual value of $3 million, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
Duclair, 25, recorded 10 goals and 22 assists in 43 regular-season games with the Panthers during his first season with the club. He signed a one-year, $1.7-million contract with the team in December.
"Anthony brought great speed and skill to our club this season," general manager Bill Zito said. "We look forward to seeing him continue to be a creative playmaker for us on the ice and a valuable member of our community. We are thrilled to have him as a part of the Panthers family for years to come."
The Panthers also bought out the final two years of Keith Yandle's contract and inked defenseman Gustav Forsling to a three-year extension reportedly worth $8 million on Thursday.
Duclair has appeared in 396 career contests with the Panthers, Ottawa Senators, Columbus Blue Jackets, Arizona Coyotes, Chicago Blackhawks, and New York Rangers. He's amassed 89 goals and 105 assists.

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Alexander Edler will hit free agency this offseason, his agent Mark Stowe said Friday on CHEK TV's "Donnie and Dhali."
"Alex has decided to pursue free agency in lieu of re-signing with the Canucks, and he will test the market pretty soon," Stowe said.
Edler, 35, has spent his entire career in Vancouver since debuting in 2006. He recorded eight assists and a team-high 118 blocked shots in 52 games last season while averaging 20:54 of ice time per game.
This will be the first time Edler explores free agency in his career. He's coming off a two-year, $12-million deal inked in June 2019.
Edler is the highest-scoring defenseman in Canucks history with 409 career points. His 925 games played in Vancouver rank fourth among all players on the team.

Hope it isn't true because not protecting McCann would be asinine
If that’s all true then they could be in the mix for some nice moves. I’m not sure how accurate Rossi is though.

I believe Friedman doesn’t need to be protected. Honestly, I’m keeping my expectations low. Sullivan is the hockey equivalent of Mike Tomlin.

I think the Pens should protect McCann and not Tanev, but it would work for me if Seattle picked McCann

TRADE ALERT
The New York Islanders have dealt defenseman Nick Leddy to the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for forward Richard Panik and the 52nd overall pick in the upcoming NHL draft.
Detroit is retaining 50% of Panik's $2.75-million cap hit. He's under contract through 2022-23.
Leddy, who carries a cap hit of $5.5 million, is on the books through next season and will then be eligible for unrestricted free agency. He played the last seven campaigns with the Islanders after spending his first four with the Chicago Blackhawks.
Leddy collected two goals and 29 assists while averaging 21:35 of ice time and playing all 56 games for the Islanders this past season.
The 30-year-old won the Stanley Cup with the Blackhawks in 2013 before Chicago traded him to New York in October 2014.
Panik, who's also 30, has suited up for six other teams during his nine-year career.
The Red Wings could afford to part with the second-round pick - which originally belonged to the Edmonton Oilers - because they hold two additional second-rounders in the upcoming draft. In fact, Detroit owns two picks in each of the first five rounds this year. The Islanders now have two second-rounders of their own in 2021.

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Braden Holtby is drawing real interest from the Seattle Kraken, The Athletic's Thomas Drance and Rick Dhaliwal report.
Holtby is expected to be unprotected in the upcoming expansion draft, but Seattle has inquired about Vancouver potentially retaining some of the veteran netminder's salary in a side deal, according to Drance and Dhaliwal. Holtby carries a $4.3 million cap hit next season but is owed $5.7 million in base salary.
The 31-year-old signed a two-year, $8.6 million contract with the Canucks last October, but Thatcher Demko has since emerged as the club's clear goalie of the future.
Holtby would be one of the better goalies available for the Kraken in the draft and surely the most established. The Saskatchewan native has made 489 NHL starts and has a Stanley Cup (2018) and Vezina Trophy (2016) on his resume.
Despite his reputation and prior accomplishments, Holtby's stats over the past two seasons are cause for concern. In 69 appearances between 2019 and 2021, he's 32-25-9 with an .895 save percentage and minus-29.4 goals saved above average.
