Panthers Sign Forward Graham Mink to Two-Year Deal
The Florida Panthers have announced that they have signed right wing Graham Mink to a two-year contract. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Mink only appeared in two games last season for the Washington Capitals, scoring no points. He also played in 68 games last season with the Capitals’ AHL affiliate in Hershey, scoring 32 goals and 27 assists for 59 points and 101 penalty minutes. Mink has enjoyed some success at the AHL level for the past several seasons, so he was likely brought in by the Panthers to add some scoring depth to their AHL affiliate in Rochester. If he plays any games with the Panthers next season, it will likely be on the fourth line and only if the team is suffering from a slew of injuries.

Respectfully, I disagree completely. Graham Mink has been in the top six for Hershey through not one but TWO calder cup championships. He's due a shot in the majors. The Caps just have too much prospect depth to grant it right now. He's a tough, smart two-way forward whose only knock is his footspeed. He can certainly be a respected mentor in the AHL, but he was already doing that in Wasington. I'd expect that he signed with Florida for the chance to make it in the majors.
