Contract negotiations between restricted free agent Shawn Matthias and the Florida Panthers have been held up because the team doesn't want to give him a one-way deal. "He and his agent can't wrap their heads around us not offering a one-way deal," said assistant GM Mike Santos. "I can't give him a one-way. I have to leave spots open for competition." Ryan Carter, Tim Kennedy and Evgeni Dadonov are vying for spots on the roster with Matthias after the Panthers brought in several new faces this past off-season.
