McDonough agreed to terms on a professional tryout agreement with Florida on Tuesday, David Dwork of The Hockey News reports.
McDonough has already signed an AHL-only deal with AHL Charlotte, so this tryout could just be the Panthers trying to fill out their roster. Still, if the 24-year-old winger can show something during camp, he could be rewarded with a two-way deal. Even if that does happen, McDonough will be hard-pressed to secure a spot on the Opening Night roster.
