Stralman collected an assist in a 5-4 overtime win against the Ducks on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

That is Stralman's seventh helper of the season through 22 games. The 33-year-old was brought in by the Panthers to provide stability on the back end, but he's been pretty mediocre defensively thus far, posting a minus-7 rating on the year.

Stralman picked up an assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Stralman slapped a shot toward the goal from the blue line that got tipped in by Brett Connolly for the Panthers' second goal of the game. The 33-year-old has helpers in back-to-back games and six total on the season. He also threw two hits and blocked a shot while leading the Cats with 23:08 in ice time in the loss.

Stralman blocked four shots on goal in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

That's not unusual for Stralman, who has 772 blocks during his 760-game NHL career. He had three games last season where he recorded four blocks, and is currently leading the Cats with 20.

Stralman had two assists and three shots with a plus-3 rating in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

It was the first multi-point game since last February for Stralman, who isn't much of an offensive defenseman these days. The 33-year-old still logs enough ice time to be able to chip in on occasion, but he's failed to reach the 20-point plateau in each of the last two seasons.

Stralman picked up an assist, three shots, two hits and three blocks in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Islanders on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran defender was active on the scoresheet despite the loss. Last season Stralman 17 points despite only suiting up for 47 games, although you shouldn't expect much offense from the 33-year-old at this point in his career.

Stralman blocked two shots in 17:24 of ice time in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

He was one of only four Panthers skaters to not end the night with a negative plus-minus. Stralman has yet to record a point for the Cats.

Stralman (lower body) is healthy and skating at training camp, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stralman missed 35 games last season, including sitting out the first round of the playoffs with a lower-body injury. However, he had gone rather injury-free prior to last season, skating in at least 73 games in five of his last six campaigns. The 33-year-old joins the Panthers after spending five years with the Lightning. At one point a steady offensive producer, Stralman saw his point totals steadily decline during his time with Tampa Bay. He's no longer an attractive fantasy option at this stage in his career.

Stralman signed a three-year, $16.5 million contract with the Panthers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Stralman cashed in on a weak blue line free agent class, actually getting a $1 million raise in annual salary compared to his last contract while joining a Florida team that's been extremely active in free agency. He's served as a steady defensive presence for the in-state rival Lightning over the past few years, but Stralman's more of a shut down type than an offensive force. He hasn't scored more than 22 points in any of the past three seasons and will turn 33 years old in August.

Stralman will likely need to take a pay cut to re-sign with Tampa, reports Tampa Bay Times.

EDGE Analysis

Stralman's $4.5 million salary in 2018-19 made him the third-highest paid defender, yet he posted some of his lowest offensive numbers since 2012-13. And played in just 47 games this season. Stralman was often the odd man out when it came to the defensive rotation that coach Jon Cooper employed -- he never really had a regular partner this season. He, Dan Girardi and Braydon Coburn are all unrestricted free agents, and the Bolts won't be able to ink all three, especially with the big contract that Brayden Point will be signing. Stralman would be valuable in another run for the Cup, but the almighty dollar will dictate if that opportunity comes with Tampa or another squad. Regardless, his fantasy best-before-date is well behind him.

Stralman (lower body) was never able to return to the lineup before the Lightning were swept out of the playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Stralman suited up in just two of the final 18 games of the season due to the lower-body injury. Set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, teams will likely have some injury concerns about the 32-year-old, due to the fact that he suited up in just 47 games this season. Stralman has seen his point totals decline each year since he's been with Tampa Bay, producing just two goals and 17 points in 2018-19. Stralman has proven he can still be an effective defenseman, but his time with the Bolts could be over, due to team dealing with major players --Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov -- in line for massive deals this offseason.
