Report: Madden to sign with Panthers tomorrow

John Madden

John Madden will sign with the Florida Panthers tomorrow, according to a tweet by Michael Russo of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

We wrote about this possibility this morning, and while we won’t say it’s official, it’s looking all but.

Madden is a three-time Stanley Cup winner -- most recently with the 2010 Chicago Blackhawks -- and a former Selke recipient. Of course, he’s also 38 years old. Thus the gamble by the Panthers.

Last year with Minnesota, Madden scored 12 goals and added 13 assists; however, offense has never been his modus operandi. No Wild forward played more shorthanded minutes than Madden, who the Panthers are surely hoping will help their 24th-ranked penalty kill.
