SUNRISE, Fla. - Florida Panthers President of Hockey Operations & General Manager Dale Tallon announced today that the club has agreed to terms with defenseman Anton Stralman on a three-year contract.

"Anton is a veteran two-way defenseman who plays solid hockey and brings a wealth of experience and leadership to our lineup," said Tallon. "His knowledge of the game and winning mentality will be a valuable asset for our young defensemen."

Stralman, 32, appeared in 47 games with the Tampa Bay Lightning, producing 17 points (2-15-17). The 5-foot-11, 190-pound native of Tibro, Sweden, served as an alternate captain for the Lightning.
