Keith Yandle is Finished with the Florida Panthers

The Florida Panthers are moving on from iron man Keith Yandle as the veteran defenseman is having the remaining two years at $6.35 million per season bought out by the team.

Hearing FLA will be buying out Keith Yandle. With a NMC, he does not need to be put on waivers. Fresh start for player and team.

Yandle will be 35 when next season begins and has played his 16-year career with the Arizona Coyotes, New York Rangers and of course with the Panthers. Last season he recorded 27 points in 56 games, however his defensive numbers were not good and Florida is ready to move on.

There's going to be a ton of interest in the offensive defenseman as he's able to run a powerplay and isn't too far off a 62-point season. Expect to hear more on Yandle in the coming days.
