It’s looking more and more like the Florida Panthers and defenseman MacKenzie Weegar are heading to arbitration. The two sides have a hearing scheduled for tomorrow, where Weegar will be awarded a one or two-year deal. Weegar has signed back-to-back one-year deals with the Cats after completing his entry-level contract. Last season, he posted career-highs with four goals, 11 assists and 64 PIM, appearing in 64 games.
