2025 Fantasy Outlook
Samoskevich was a regular in the Panthers' lineup during the 2024-25 campaign, earning 31 points and 134 hits in 72 regular-season games. However, he found himself out of the lineup as the team reached full strength during the playoffs, making just four playoff appearances. With major changes expected for Florida ahead of 2025-26, Samoskevich should be able to carve out a more stable role in the lineup. He was a middle-six option last year and should expect similar usage going forward, there is upside for growth through additional experience as he prepares for his age-23 season. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Panthers in July of 2025.
Might be available for Thursday
Samoskevich (neck) might be available for Thursday's game against Minnesota, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.
ANALYSIS
On Monday, Samoskevich received a timetable of 7-10 days, so it would be surprising if he plays against the Wild on Thursday. The 23-year-old has six goals, 23 points, 26 PIM and 123 hits across 66 appearances in 2025-26. Samoskevich will probably serve in a middle-six capacity if he draws back into the lineup.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Samoskevich had his first full pro season in 2023-24, and although he spent most of it in the minors, he gave Panthers fans plenty to look forward to. He had 22 goals and 54 points in 62 regular-season contests with AHL Charlotte, which was good for third place in the rookie scoring race. He also got a couple of stints with the big club, but he didn't record a point over seven contests with Florida. Now that he has more experience, the 21-year-old will be fighting to earn a middle-six spot out of training camp. Samoskevich will be given a fair shot to earn that gig, but Florida is deep enough to afford to be patient with the young forward, so fantasy managers in standard leagues would be best served to observe the situation but not draft him yet.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to be promoted
Samoskevich will likely be recalled from AHL Charlotte on Saturday, per David Dwork of The Hockey News on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Samoskevich has five goals and nine points over 22 appearances with Florida this campaign, but he hasn't played at all for Charlotte in 2024-25 despite being reassigned to the minors Monday. However, Samoskevich's demotion appears to have been more than just a paper move, as he wasn't on the Panthers' roster for Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to Pittsburgh or Thursday's 7-5 victory over Philadelphia. If he's summoned Saturday, he could draw into the lineup against San Jose.
