History
2009-10: After a slow start to the year for Vermont and Pacan himself, the 18-year-old pivot has stepped into a secondary scoring role for the squad. He had an 11-game stretch in which he scored 10 points. As impressive as the hot streak was, Pacan has also struggled with consistency at times.
2010-11: Pacan fit in well with the star-studded Niagara lineup in his first OHL season after leaving college hockey. In 65 games with the Ice Dogs he scored 20 goals with 42 assists and was +24 with 39 PMs as the Ice Dog's had the OHL's third-best record. Pacan appeared in all 14 playoff games as Niagara advanced to the OHL semifinals and scored 5 goals and 4 assists with a +7 plus/minus and 8 PMs. Florida obtained the rights to Pacan as part of a five-player deal with Chicago in February 2011.
Talent Analysis
Pacan’s move to the OHL after being dismissed from the University of Vermont appears to have helped his development. With more games, and a chance to demonstrate his talent, Pacan displayed a nose for the net, and the ability to generate offense with his passing. He is a smart forward with good size.
Future
Still a long way from the NHL, Pacan has a chance to return to the OHL as an overager. At this time, he has not yet signed a professional contract, which is indicative of his place in the Panthers prospect hierarchy.
