The contract extension discussions between Paul Maurice and the Florida Panthers weren't exactly of the back-and-forth variety.

"There was really no negotiation," Maurice said. "They made me a really nice offer and we shook hands and I said, 'Thank you.' And that was it."

And with that, the Panthers are keeping their Stanley Cup-winning coach for the foreseeable future. Maurice and the Panthers have agreed on an extended contract, the team announced Tuesday without disclosing terms.
