The Panthers have acquired Jaromir Jagr from the Devils for a second-round draft pick in the 2015 NHL draft and a conditional third-round draft pick in the 2016 draft.
The trade was announced Thursday afternoon by both teams.
"We're headed in the right direction,'' said Florida GM Dale Tallon, whose team entered Thursday two points from the eighth and final playoff spot in the East race. "I'm excited about him coming here and just spending some time with him and watching him play. He's an exciting guy to watch play. He's still got it.''
