The Florida Panthers were so impressed with Gracyn Sawchyn following their prospect showcase in Estero last summer that coach Paul Maurice started the youngster out with some of the big guys at the start of training camp..
Sawchyn, who was Florida’s top pick of the 2023 draft in the second round, looked good at development camp and again in the rookie showcase earning himself a spot centering Sam Reinhart and Ryan Lomberg.
Even though he came to training camp at about 155 pounds, Sawchyn was not afraid to get into some tight spots against much bigger and more mature guys.
