Liam McLinskey To Sign AHL Deal In Panthers Organization​

1:19 p.m.: The Checkers have confirmed the signing.

12:33 p.m.: The Panthers are bringing Hobey Baker Award finalist Liam McLinskey into the organization on a two-year contract with AHL Charlotte, PHR can report. The deal begins next season, but he’ll finish 2024-25 on an ATO with Charlotte following a standout senior season at Holy Cross.

One of the top 10 names in voting for the Hobey this year, it’s a tad surprising not to see the 24-year-old McLinskey land an NHL commitment. The 6’3″, 165-lb forward dominated AHA play with the Crusaders this year, ranking second in the entire NCAA in scoring with 24-30–54 in 40 appearances. However, Holy Cross won’t be in the national tournament starting today after losing the conference championship game to Bentley.
 
Mclinskey with a goal and assist in his 1st game. Given he's only signed an ahl deal can he sign an nhl deal with any nhl team or does it need to be Florida?

I didn't notice at first but McLinskey is from Pearl River, NY, about three towns away from where I grew up . I had a few friends in high school from Pearl River. He's also 180 lbs. now, not 165 anymore. I like his highlights, it seems like he has a very good shot .

This sort of approach worked out well with GIles. Give a well performing college player an AHL deal and sign if he looks good
