SUNRISE, Fla. Ahkello Witherspoon Super Bowl Jersey . -- Jonathan Huberdeau waited four seasons before finally experiencing the Stanley Cup playoffs. If the Florida Panthers have their way, hell be a postseason fixture for years to come.A well-paid fixture, too.Huberdeaus $35.4 million, six-year extension was formally announced by the Panthers on Wednesday, the forward becoming yet another piece of the teams young core to be locked into a long-term deal since January -- and another sign that the long-sputtering franchise has turned a corner toward becoming a legit title contender.Jonathan is a highly talented and dynamic player who is another important piece of our teams young core, Panthers President Dale Tallon said.That core came at a cost, one that the Panthers dont seem to mind.So far in 2016 alone, the Panthers have committed more than $184 million in contracts to five players who are all age 25 or younger. Aleksander Barkov (who turned 21 last week) signed an extension in January, and Aaron Ekblad (20), Vincent Trocheck (23), Reilly Smith (25) and now Huberdeau (23) all got extensions done this summer.That total doesnt even count the $24.6 million, six-year deal that 24-year-old Nick Bjugstad signed late in 2014, nor does it include the acquisition of All-Star defenseman Keith Yandle or the retaining of Jaromir Jagr this offseason.The Panthers won the Atlantic Division last season, reaching the playoffs for the second time since 2000 and falling in the first round to the New York Islanders. Florida opens training camp later this month.Huberdeaus deal -- which was confirmed Tuesday by agent Allan Walsh -- gives the Panthers 10 players who are under NHL contracts for at least the next four seasons. Also on that list: Barkov, Ekblad, Trocheck, Smith, Bjugstad, Yandle, goalies Roberto Luongo and James Reimer and defenseman Jason Demers.Huberdeaus six-year deal goes into effect for the 2017-18 season. Ekblad is under contract through 2025, Yandle through 2023 and Barkov, Trocheck and Smith all through 2022.Huberdeau was essentially the last offseason question mark, at least in terms of when a new deal was coming.The 2013 Calder Trophy winner had a career-best 20 goals and 59 points last season, the point total being third-best on the Panthers as hes flourished on a line with Barkov and Jagr.In each of his last two seasons he has posted over 50 points and has developed into a key component of our teams offense, Tallon said.Huberdeau has 58 goals and 114 assists in 272 NHL games, all with Florida. Jerick McKinnon Super Bowl Jersey . On Tuesday, Ottawa placed forward Cory Conacher and defenceman Joe Corvo on waivers as trade rumours swirl around the Senators. Richard Sherman Super Bowl Jersey . In what the team had called a retirement, Ryan said Thursday that he is resigning as chief executive of the Rangers in a move effective at the end of this month. http:///...nowsky-49ers-jersey/ . Terms of the deal were not immediately available. The 26-year-old finished last season with Clevelands Triple-A affiliate in Columbus after signing with the Indians in August. ATLANTA -- Ramiro Pena got a fierce wakeup call with the bases loaded and the scored tied in the eighth inning. Pena fouled the first pitch off his lower right leg and bent over in anguish. But after he fouled off the next pitch, he hit a sacrifice fly to put the Atlanta Braves ahead to stay. "I needed to keep the focus," Pena said. "Thats a big at-bat right there, so I just tried to make contact and put the ball in play." Pena had a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in a four-run eighth, Jordan Schafer drove in two runs and the Braves rallied against the Los Angeles Dodgers beleaguered bullpen for a 5-2 victory on a rain-soaked Sunday. Kenley Jansen (1-3) was the loser for the second straight game, this time allowing one hit, two runs and a walk while getting just one out in a game twice delayed by rain for a total of 2 hours, 15 minutes. "With a rain delay and getting tired a little bit later, you have to keep concentrating on the game," Pena said. "Everybody did a great job from the beginning (of the eighth), and I think everybody put something in that inning." Jansen began the eighth by allowing a single to Freddie Freeman and walking Brian McCann. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly brought in closer Brandon League for the first time in the series, but he fared no better than his teammate. After Atlanta loaded the bases when third baseman Juan Uribe was charged with a fielding error on Andrelton Simmons sacrifice bunt attempt, League gave up a tying RBI single to pinch-hitter Gerald Laird to make it 2-all. Pinch-runner B.J. Upton scored on Penas sacrifice fly. The Braves added two more runs off League on Chris Johnsons RBI single and a sacrifice bunt by Schafer. Closer Craig Kimbrel earned his third save of the series and 14th in 17 chances as the Braves earned their fourth series sweep this season. Kimbrel struck out Matt Kemp and Adrian Gonzalez before A.J. Ellis walked. Atlanta had retired 19 straight batters before Ellis walk, but Kimbrel ended it with a strikeout of Andre Ethier. "We were on the road a lot and lost a lot of games we felt we should have won," Braves starting pitcher Mike Minor said. "Today we came back in another one from behind and got the sweep." After watching his hitters struggle from the fourth inning on, Mattingly refused to put all the blame on Los Angeles bullpen. "You add on a run here or there, it takes a lot of pressure off a guy that you cant give up one hit that changes the whole game," Mattingly said. "t;I think we have to take this all as a group. Weston Richburg Super Bowl Jersey. " Luis Avilan (2-0) pitched a perfect eighth inning, striking out one. The Dodgers went up 1-0 in the first when Carl Crawford led off with a double, moved to third on Mark Ellis groundout and scored on Gonzalezs RBI single. In the third, Crawford walked, moved to third on Kemps double and crossed the plate on Gonzalezs sacrifice fly to give Los Angeles a 2-0 lead. Los Angeles rookie Matt Magill didnt allow a runner to reach scoring position until the fifth when Pena reached on fielders choice, advanced to second on Minors single and scored on Schafers RBI single to make it 2-1. Magill was chased on Justin Uptons leadoff single in the sixth. J.P. Howell made just two pitches, a pair of strikes to Freeman, when the game was stopped by a second rain delay. This one lasted 33 minutes. Magill, who could lose his spot in the rotation with Ted Lilly likely to come off the disabled list on Monday, gave up four hits, one unearned run and three walks in five-plus innings. Magill has a 5.00 ERA in four starts. Minor allowed three hits and two runs with two walks and a season-high nine strikeouts in six innings. In Atlantas seventh, Mattingly used three pitchers -- Ronald Belisario, Paco Rodriguez and Jansen -- to face five batters. Jansen, who took the loss Saturday by giving up homers to Gattis and Simmons, struck out Justin Upton to end a threat with runners on first and second. The Braves, whose 55 homers rank second in the National League, won without hitting a ball over the fence. They beat the Dodgers Friday on Justin Uptons grand slam off Rodriguez and Saturday with Gattis and Simmons going deep. "Weve been slow out of the gate as an offence (over the last three games), and (the pitching staff has) been able to keep us in the ballgame and keep runs off the board," Justin Upton said. "Thats important in giving us a shot to win." NOTES: The Braves earned their first three-game sweep of the Dodgers since April 18-20, 2008. ... Before Kemp doubled in the third, he had just three hits in 42 career at-bats at Turner Field. ... Mattingly said X-rays on RF Scott Van Slykes left lower leg were negative. Van Slyke hit balls off nearly the same spot on his leg on two consecutive pitches, but finished the at-bat. ... Mark Ellis, out since April 27 with a strained right quadriceps, returned to the lineup and went 0 for 4 with one strikeout. C Tim Federowicz was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque to make room on the roster. ' ' '
