Florida Panthers extend qualifying offer to Shawn Matthias. Matthias will be a restricted free agent and the Panthers have the right to match any offer he receives once the market opens Friday. That said, it'd be pretty surprising if the Panthers let him get away following a breakout year in 2013. Matthias had 14 goals and 21 points in 48 games this season after posting 10 and 24 in 76 games the year before. We're a little wary of Matthias' red-hot, 11-goal March, but he's worth a shot later on in shallower formats.
