Position: Defense
Age: 24
Drafted in 2012, 1st Round (23rd Overall)
The Florida Panthers made Mike Matheson their first-round pick back in 2012, as the Quebec native was coming off of a strong season for the USHL’s Dubuque Fighting Saints (27 points in 53 games). Matheson would go on to attend Boston College, where he stayed for three seasons before signing with the Panthers.
In his first professional season, Matheson spent the regular season in the AHL, but was called up to the Panthers for the team’s playoff series against the New York Islanders.
