Shawn Matthias and the Florida Panthers have reportedly agreed to a two-year contract.
He will earn a guaranteed salary of $900,000 in the second year of his new deal, but for this coming campaign the contract is of the two-way variety. Matthias will make $803,000 if he plays in the NHL and $62,500 if he gets demoted to the minors. "I was very happy with the deal," said Matthias following an informal skate with his veteran teammates on Friday morning. "It's up to me now. I could go into camp with a clear mind, work my hardest, do the best I can. If I do that good things will happen."
