It’s pretty much inevitable that the Cats will lose a defenseman in the upcoming expansion draft. Now it’s just a matter of who it will be and who will serve as their replacement.
Ian McCoshen and MacKenzie Weegar are both candidates from Springfield to make the jump. Both D-Men saw time in 3 NHL games towards the end of the 2016-17 season.
McCoshen would register one assist in his short stint with the Panthers, he’d also make a few rookie mistakes. In the end, Ian would still impress a lot of us fans, needing something to hold onto for the offseason.
