Florida Panthers defenseman MacKenzie Weegar is coming off of his first NHL season. He competed in sixty games in the previous year, posting two goals and six assists for a total of eight points. This may have been a mediocre rookie season for Weegar, but in a bigger role, he’s due for a breakthrough.
At the start of the season, not many knew how Weegar would fit in with the Cats. The typical fan would think that he’s another typical roster filler, but Weegar showed that he’s more than that.
His playing style resembles the type of play that is needed in today’s brand of hockey: speed.
