Florida Panthers: Jacob MacDonald Deserves an NHL Role
After experiencing a tumultuous season on defense, the Florida Panthers should look towards alternative reinforcements in order to improve their defense core.
The question remains: could AHL star defenseman Jacob MacDonald crack the opening night lineup for Joel Quenneville and the Florida Panthers?
Following a successful AHL stint with the minor league affiliate of the New Jersey Devils, the Florida Panthers acquired MacDonald via free agency.
General Manager Dale Tallon saw a potential diamond in the rough, and subsequently locked up MacDonald on a two-year contract worth approximately $750k annually.
