“Jack is an agile skater with high-end offensive talent who has excelled throughout his college hockey career over the past four seasons at the University of Denver,” Zito said. “We are excited to see Jack join the Florida Panthers organization.”
Devine, 21, skated against the NCAA University of Denver pioneer in 44 games, earning 44 assists and 57 points (13-44-57). For the second season in a row, he was also named the Top 10 finalist of the Hobby Baker Awards and the NCHC First Team All-Star.
