Thoughts
Being sent to the AHL is relatively normal and isn't uncommon for 20yr olds. It's the underage players that are often sent right to Juniors.
AHL training camps largely start at the end of the week, which coincides with the WHL season starting.
Florida's AHL affiliate has 8 signed defencemen so it is rather unlikely that either Tiger player will stick. They are likely "fillers" until the Panthers have sent down all their cuts.
There is still outside potential that either player could be offered 1 year 2-way AHL/ECHl deals for injury replacement. (it makes more sense for Nassen due to his Import status than MacPherson)
It does look like that neither player may be here to start the season, unless they choose to come back and not attend Springfields camp.
