Evgeni Dadonov is back with the Florida Panthers, after being out of the NHL for more than five years.

The right wing agreed Saturday on a three-year deal to return to Florida, where he would certainly figure to be a candidate to join Aleksander Barkov and Jonathan Huberdeau on the Panthers’ top line — another clear indicator that Jaromir Jagr’s time with the team could be over.

Dadonov appeared in 55 games for Florida between 2010 and 2012, with 10 goals and 10 assists.

He’s spent the past five seasons in Russia’s KHL, with 101 goals and 123 assists in stints with Donbass and St. Petersburg.
