For a while now it's been all but confirmed that Ian McCoshen would forgo his remaining years with BC in order to sign with the Panthers, and now its official. McCoshen signed an ELC with the Panthers for 3 years and $925,000 per season at the NHL level or $70,000 in the AHL.. McCoshen's departure should be the last in what has felt like an endless string of early departures for the Eagles this season.
McCoshen quickly became a leader on defense during his three seasons with the Eagles. As a player that could shut down the opposing team on defense but also set up offense, he was a valuable asset for BC and should fairly quickly be ready to play in the NHL.
