Curtis Valk: Moving on from Panthers
Valk agreed to terms on a one-year deal with Barys Astana of the KHL on Tuesday.
Valk made his NHL debut with Florida last season, a one-game stint in which he saw a paltry 3:25 of ice time. Despite a qualifying offer from the Panthers, the center will instead head overseas in order to continue his professional career. If the WHL product can put together a solid campaign in the KHL, he could earn his way back to the NHL.

Panthers' Curtis Valk: Receives qualifying offer
Valk was among the five names to whom the Panthers have extended a qualifying offer.
Despite just one appearance in the NHL so far in his career, Valk -- who debuted for the Panthers this season -- has impressed the management enough with his play in the AHL this season to warrant a qualifying offer heading into 2018-19. The 25-year-old pivot conjured up 62 points -- 20 goals and 42 assists -- with AHL Springfield last season and should receive an offer to participate in training camp with Florida as a result.

Panthers' Curtis Valk: Heading to minors
Valk was reassigned to AHL Springfield on Sunday.
The undrafted forward had been with the Panthers for the past week, dressing for one game -- Tuesday against Dallas -- and playing just 3:25. Despite a lack of size, Valk has some offensive abilites, which he's put on display by scoring 15 points in 16 AHL contests this season. After returning Valk to Springfield, the Panthers roster now contains 12 healthy forwards.

Panthers' Curtis Valk: Brought up Monday
Valk was recalled from AHL Springfield on Monday.
The 24-year-old will now have a chance to make his NHL debut following the recall as Derek MacKenzie (undisclosed) is in doubt for Tuesday's matchup with the Stars. Valk has been productive at the AHL level in 2017-18, recording 15 points in 16 games, but he'll likely serve in a bottom-six role if he finds himself in the Panthers lineup.
