Some college prospects have a plan for when they want to turn pro. First-round picks, in particular, are often staying for just a year or two before making the jump. That was the case for several of Michigan’s players last season with one of the exceptions being Panthers prospect Mackie Samoskevich. The 19-year-old told NHL.com’s Alain Poupart that he doesn’t have a set time in mind for turning pro. He had 29 points in 40 games for the Wolverines in his freshman year and with several prominent players from 2021-22 making the jump to the pros already, Samoskevich will be in line for a bigger role next season. How he performs with that opportunity will go a long way towards helping Florida determine if they want him turning pro after that.
