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.
