Forward Jonah Gadjovich and the Florida Panthers have reached an agreement to extend his contract for two years and $1.8 million, ensuring his stay with the team until the 2027-28 season. The news was announced on Sunday by the team. Gadjovich has proven to be a key player in the last three seasons with the Panthers, accumulating six goals and three assists in 84 games. His performance also included two goals in last season’s Stanley Cup playoffs, highlighting a crucial one against the Toronto Maple Leafs in the seventh game.
This agreement was announced on Gadjovich’s 27th birthday. In the three games this season, Gadjovich has recorded an assist and leads the team with 11 hits. Throughout his career, Gadjovich has accumulated 19 points in 163 games, representing the Florida, San Jose, and Vancouver teams. He was selected in the second round of the 2017 NHL draft by Vancouver. During his time with the Panthers, Gadjovich averages an impressive 19.7 hits per 60 minutes played, demonstrating his impact on the game. With this extension, Gadjovich, who could have been an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, joins eleven other forwards already under contract for next season.Jonah has become an integral part of our locker room and a strong contributor to our group on the ice. He possesses a fearless attitude and relentless competitiveness, and we are excited for him to continue with us in South Florida.
