The Florida Panthers have agreed to terms with defenseman MacKenzie Weegar on a one-year, one-way contract., avoiding an arbitration hearing scheduled for July 30.
“We are pleased to have agreed to terms with MacKenzie,” said Dale Tallon. “He is a versatile, young two-way defender who made big strides in his development during his rookie season. We’re excited about keeping our group of talented young players together after their contributions to our strong finish last season. We look forward to watching our club build from that success this coming season and for years to come.”
The 24-year-old Weegar appeared in 60 games in his first full NHL season with Florida, recording eight points (2G/6A).
