Denver's outstanding junior goalie, Marc Cheverie, has reached an agreement on a two-year entry-level contract with the NHL's Florida Panthers. Cheverie had been in negotiation's with the Panthers shortly after the Pioneers lost in the NCAA tournament.
"We are very pleased to have reached a contract agreement with Marc," Florida general manager Randy Sexton said in a release. "He is very talented prospect who we believe will have a bright future in our organization."
"Marc established himself as the best goaltender in college hockey this season and is ready for professional hockey," DU coach George Gwozdecky said in a release. "He was our most valuable player the past two seasons and is one of the most competitive players I've coached."
Cheverie was the 193rd overall selection in the seventh round of the 2006 draft. He had a 24-6-3 record with 2.08 goals-against average and a .932 save percentage, and was a Hobey Baker Top 10 Finalist this season.
His departure leaves a big hole in net for the Pioneers. This is the third early departure in two weeks for Denver.
