According to Kevin Weekes, Montour has signed with the Seattle Kraken, the deal is seven years with an average annual value of $7 million.

Brandon Montour, 30, has spent parts of the last four seasons with the Florida Panthers after being dealt by the Buffalo Sabres. While he may have taken a big step back in terms of point production this season, Montour's overall game was strong, playing well on both sides of the puck. In 66 games, he put up 33 points (eight goals, 25 assists), 46 penalty minutes and was a plus-one. He then went on to add 11 points in 22 playoff games, winning the first Stanley Cup of his career with the Florida Panthers.
Montour will certainly help out the back end of the Kraken.
