Panthers General Manager Dale Tallon, who was the Oprah Winfrey of professional tryout deals this September (you get one! and you get one!), has signed defenseman Tom Gilbert and forward Brad Boyes to contracts.

Both Boyes and Gilbert had been at training camp with the Florida Panthers on professional tryouts.

The Panthers announced the news themselves on Twitter, with the help of useful photo editing app "PicStitch":

Tom Gilbert has been criticized for his defensive play, but the peripheral data suggests that he's a very useful puck moving defenseman. Brad Boyes meanwhile is a veteran top-six forward who managed 35 points in 48 games with the Islanders last season.

TSN's Bob McKenzie suggests that the deals will be worth roughly $1 million apiece.
