6th year center David Pacan(61) leaves North American hockey for the first time for an excellent opportunity signing a one-year deal with HC Kosice of Slovak Extraliga.
Originally a Chicago Blackhawks‘ 6th round pick in the 2009 draft (#177 overall) he was traded before ever lacing them up for the black & red to Florida Panthers.
They had him in training camp but decided to leave him unsigned so his first contract became a minor league transaction with affiliate San Antonio Rampage but spent most of his playing time on reassignment.
The big 6’3″ 218 lbs. power forward next signed his first of 4 ECHL terms but never stuck with the same team for more than a season but did return to Cincinnati Cyclones a 2nd time.
He had his highest totals last year scoring 41 goals and 82 points with Brampton Beast, while also keeping his penalty minutes at a low 26 minutes.
The still young 26-year old has earned call-ups to the AHL on three of four occasions but in limited minutes only put up a few points.
We think he will excel overseas.
