at the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.
After sending away Dmitry Kulikov and a second-round pick, they received a solid defenseman in Mark Pysyk and two extra draft picks. While the move may have seemed small at the time, it has worked out for the Cats in the long run.
When Mark Pysyk first arrived in Florida, it appeared that he fit in perfectly on the Panthers’ blue line.
When he played, he was mistake-free and hardly turned over the puck. Despite providing limited offensive production, his defending was solid, which is everything the Panthers had asked the moment he arrived.
