Panthers add size with Gratton

Sportsnet.ca -- The Florida Panthers continue to play an active role in the free agent free-for-all, this time the Florida club signed veteran forward Chris Gratton.

Gratton, who was picked third overall by Tampa Bay back in 1993, split time with Phoenix and Colorado in 2003/04, scoring 13 goals and adding 19 assists.

"Chris is a tough, physical and competitive player who adds further depth at our forward position," said GM Mike Keenan. "He is another veteran player whose leadership and experience will be counted on as we continue to reshape our franchise."

Sportsnet has also learned Gratton's contract is for one-year, and valued at $900,000.

Gratton doesn't use his size, thats my opinion anyway. Mike and I disagree with the "physical" player part.

Really? I've always found him pretty physical, if not mean. It's just that he doesn't always seem to be interested in the actual game of hockey.
