Florida Panthers Sign Defenseman Adam Boqvist to One-Year Deal

Adam Boqvist joins his brother Jesper Boqvist on the reigning Stanley Cup champions' roster.

Adam Boqvist, a former first-round pick, signed a one-year contract worth $775,000.
He has played 209 NHL games with the Chicago Blackhawks and Columbus Blue Jackets.
Boqvist has a history of injuries but has shown potential as a top-four defenseman.
He will likely have a reduced role on Florida's defensively strong team.
The Boqvist brothers last played together in Sweden during the 2017-18 season.
