Versteeg spent his first three NHL seasons with Chicago and was a member of the Blackhawks' Stanley Cup-winning team in 2010.

To get Versteeg, the Panthers gave up a conditional second-round pick in the 2012 or 2013 NHL Entry Draft, along with a third-round pick in 2012 previously acquired from San Jose.

Versteeg will join a Florida team that has signed free agents Ed Jovanovski, Jose Theodore, Scott Upshall and Marcel Goc.
