Demers chipped in an assist Tuesday in a 4-3 shootout loss to Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Demers was a moderately productive blueliner in 123 games with Dallas over the last two seasons, putting up 12 goals and 33 assists. That's a clip of 0.36 points per game which would amount to 30 points over a full NHL season -- a rate of production the Panthers are clearly hoping for from the 28-year-old after they signed him to a five-year deal worth $4.5 million per year in the offseason.
