Deadspin | Panthers bring back F Mackie Samoskevich on 1-year contract Deadspin | Panthers bring back F Mackie Samoskevich on 1-year contract

4 DAYS AGO • DEADSPIN.COM

Inks one-year deal with Florida Samoskevich signed a one-year contract with the Panthers on Thursday.

Impact Samoskevich's role with the Panthers grew dramatically during the 2024-25 campaign, as he recorded 15 goals, 16 assists, 134 hits, 32 blocked shots and 12 PIM while averaging 13:19 of ice time over 72 regular-season appearances. He wasn't productive enough to earn consistent playing time during the postseason, but he should be in contention for a bottom-six role once again in 2025-26 as the Panthers chase a third consecutive title.

Set to be attractive option July 1 Samoskevich was not tendered a qualifying offer from the Panthers on Monday, David Dwork of The Hockey News reports.

Impact A skilled young forward, Samoskevich will have plenty of suitors when free agency opens Tuesday. The 2021 first-round selection (No. 24 overall) garnered 15 goals and 31 points over 72 regular-season games with Florida in 2024-25. The right-shot winger failed to earn a consistent role in the Panthers' Stanley Cup run, chipping in one assist across four outings. Samoskevich should be able to secure a middle-six role with a new team in 2025-26.

Generates assist in playoff debut Samoskevich registered an assist and four hits in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Lightning in Game 1.

Impact Samoskevich stayed on the second line for the playoff opener, which was his postseason debut. That could change if the Panthers opt to move Brad Marchand up to play alongside Sam Bennett and Matthew Tkachuk later in the playoffs. Samoskevich has been good in his first full NHL campaign -- he earned 15 goals, 31 points, 129 shots on net, 134 hits and a minus-4 rating over 72 regular-season outings.

Nets another game winner Samoskevich scored a goal Thursday in a 4-1 win over the Red Wings.

Impact It stood as the winner. Samoskevich beat Cam Talbot over the glove with a turnaround wrister from the slot near the midpoint of the second period. The rookie sits 10th on the list of first-year scorers. Samoskevich has 15 goals, 16 assists and 125 shots in 70 games this season. Impressively, five of his 15 goals have been game winners -- that ties him with Carter Verhaeghe and Brad Marchand as the team leader. One word: clutch.

Records power-play assist Samoskevich notched a power-play assist and two hits in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Samoskevich was shuffled down to the third line as part of the ripple effect of Aleksander Barkov's (upper body) absence. Still, Samoskevich earned his fourth point in the last six games, three of which have come on the power play. The 22-year-old rookie is up to 14 goals, 15 helpers, 11 power-play points, 115 shots on net, 122 hits and a minus-2 rating over 66 appearances. As long as his role with the man advantage stays unchanged, he'll have enough scoring potential to help in deeper fantasy formats.
