Florida Panthers Claim Defenseman Off Waivers

The Florida Panthers have claimed Josh Mahura off waivers from the Anaheim Ducks.

When it was announced that Mahura was placed on waivers by Anaheim, it did seem possible that another club would take a chance on him. Keep in mind, he is still only 24 years old and has the potential to become a full-time NHLer. Thus, it isn't all that surprising to see that Florida has claimed him.

In 38 games last season with the Ducks, Mahura scored three goals and recorded seven points. Now, he will be aiming to take that next step as a Panther from here. Let's see if he can do just that.
