BREAKING: Panthers Make Last Minute Goaltending Addition Ahead of Game Five
The Florida Panthers have made an incredibly last-minute addition to their roster this morning. The team announced via social media that they had signed goaltender Ludovic Waeber to a contract.
Panthers Add Waeber
Waeber spent the last season with ZSC of the Swiss NL, posting a .914 save percentage and 2.50 goals against average throughout 19 games. This performance earned the Switzerland native a contract with the Panthers.
There's only one catch to Waeber's contract with the Panthers, and it's that the one-year deal doesn't start until next season. This means Waeber is unavailable for Florida to use in the currently ongoing Stanley Cup Finals.
Waeber's addition to Florida's roster for next season makes the departure of Alex Lyon more and more likely, as Waeber is already Florida's 4th goalie under contract for the 2023-24 campaign. While Lyon could still be brought back, very few NHL teams have more than 4 goalies under contract, and Lyon may be asking for a decent pay bump.
