The Panthers re-signed forward Gregory Campbell to a two-year contract Thursday and expect to secure forward Rostislav Olesz with a long-term extension in the next few days.
General Manager Jacques Martin said he’s “very confident” a deal with Olesz would be done by Tuesday.
Terms of Campbell’s deal weren’t disclosed, but the center/winger said it’s more than the $525,000 he earned last season. Campbell, 24, played on the Panthers’ third and fourth lines last season — his third in the NHL — and was a pesky penalty killer.
