Montour’s deal is worth $7.14 million a year, with Stephenson’s deal at $6.25 million a season.It’s a pretty sizable leap into the free agent market for Seattle as they look to push forward again after a disappointing 2023-24 season.Montour, 30, is fresh off a Stanley Cup victory with the Panthers and two straight trips to the Finals. Montour had a fantastic 2022-23 season in Florida with 73 points on 16 goals and 57 assists.
