The Florida Panthers have signed defense prospect Ludvig Jansson to a three-year, entry-level contract effective next season. Jansson, 21, was selected in the fourth round of the 2022 draft and has played professionally in Sweden, predominantly with Luleå HF in the SHL, where he averaged just over 10 minutes per game this season. Since he is under 24 and not a first-round pick, he may be loaned back to Luleå if he doesn’t make the NHL team, but he is expected to receive more playing time with AHL Charlotte.
