The Philadelphia Flyers signed defenseman Marc Staal to a one-year deal worth $1.1 million, the team announced Monday.

Staal played all 82 regular-season and 21 playoff games with the Florida Panthers this year. He tallied three goals and 15 points before failing to get on the scoresheet in the postseason.

The 36-year-old signed a one-year contract with a $750,000 salary - the league minimum - in Florida last July.

Staal has also played for the New York Rangers and Detroit Red Wings in his 1,101-game NHL career, collecting 52 goals and 229 points in that span. He played under the Flyers' current head coach, John Tortorella, from 2008-13 in New York.

Philadelphia has $11.7 million of cap space after the signing, per CapFriendly. This projection includes Ryan Ellis' $6.25-million cap hit on long-term injured reserve.
