Keith Yandle signed with the Florida Panthers early Thursday, three days after the team acquired the high-scoring defenseman's negotiating rights in a trade with the New York Rangers. The Panthers sent a sixth-round pick in the draft this week to the Rangers on Monday, and now owes New York a fourth-round pick next year after successfully signing the 29-year-old Yandle. ''We're thrilled,'' Panthers co-owner Doug Cifu told the Miami Herald.
