Florida Panthers lock in young defenseman Mikulas Hovorka on a one-year deal, setting him up for a bigger role as he continues his NHL development. The 25-year-old Czech standout, who made his NHL debut last February, is projected to see more ice time with the AHL’s Charlotte Checkers while vying for a roster spot this season. With impressive point growth and a physical presence, Hovorka joins a competitive defensive depth chart alongside Donovan Sebrango, as the Panthers gear up for training camp and the upcoming season.
