The Panthers have made their first move of the off-season today by signing 22 year-old goalie Alexander Salák.
Salák was born in the Czech Republic, but has played in Finland since 2006. After a season in second-tier Finnish hockey, Salák signed with TPS Turku in 2007.
He played in 52 games this season with TPS, posting a 20-20-9 record, but a 2.4 GAA and a save percentage of .923%. Salák's performance seems to have most who have talked about him calling him the TPS MVP this season.
Prior to moving to Finland, Salák played for Ceské Budejovice in the Czech Republic, and during the 2004-2005 season, Salák was named the backup for the Czech U18 team, though he played in only one game. Also on that U18 team: Panthers winger Michael Frolik.
