In 2024-25, Samoskevich scored 31 points, including 15 goals, ranking him among the top rookies in franchise history. He also led the team with five game-winning goals and contributed in the playoffs.

Mackie is a talented young forward who demonstrated skill and maturity well above his age in his first full NHL season. We look forward to seeing him compete in our organization for years to come.
Samoskevich quietly carved out a standout rookie campaign for the Panthers, tallying 31 points through 72 games, showcasing his ability to slot into any hole in our lineup.

Samoskevich led the team with five game-winning goals, matching veteran Carter Verhaeghe, and made an impactful playoff appearance during Florida's run to a second straight Stanley Cup title.
