Panthers Sign Mark Cullen to One-Year Contract

The Florida Panthers have announced that they have signed center Mark Cullen to a one-year contract extension. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. He would have been an unrestricted free agent on July 1. In 28 games this past season with Rochester of the AHL, he had five goals and nine assists for 14 points. In 32 career NHL games with the Chicago Blackhawks and Philadelphia Flyers, he has seven goals and nine assists for 16 points. This is really just a depth signing for the Panthers, as Cullen is likely to spend all of next season in the minors once again.
