In a recent announcement, the Florida Panthers have added some depth to their roster by signing forwards Tyler Motte and defenseman Ben Harpur to professional tryout contracts. Both players are expected to compete for a spot on the Panthers’ roster as they prepare for the upcoming NHL season.

Tyler Motte, known for his speed and tenacity, has spent time with several NHL teams, most recently with the Vancouver Canucks. His experience and skill set may provide the Panthers with the necessary versatility in their forward lines. Meanwhile, Ben Harpur, a sizeable defenseman, brings a physical presence to the blue line, looking to earn his place among a talented group of defensemen in Florida.

This move suggests the Panthers are focused on building a competitive team that can make a strong playoff run. With both players eager to prove themselves, training camp will be crucial for Motte and Harpur as they aim to secure a contract and contribute to the team's success this season.

The Panthers' decision to bring in both players could pay off, considering they have a strong roster foundation but are in need of depth and intensity, particularly in a grueling NHL schedule. Fans are eager to see how these additions will impact the team's dynamics as the Panthers gear up for the challenges ahead.
