Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad reflects on his 11-year career with the team as he faces unrestricted free agency after the Stanley Cup Final. Having grown from a struggling team to a Stanley Cup champion, Ekblad expresses his deep commitment to the Panthers, stating he wants to continue with the organization long-term. This season marks the first time he plays without a contract guarantee for the following year, increasing the uncertainty of his future despite his significant contributions to the team.
I bleed for the Florida Panthers. I've given my body and everything to this team, and I want to keep doing it forever, for as long as they'll let me come to the rink.
This is the first time Ekblad has played a season without a guaranteed contract already in place for the following year.
