2023 Fantasy Outlook
A depth defender for Colorado, MacDonald was dealt to San Jose in late January along with Martin Kaut in exchange for Matt Nieto and Ryan Merkley. He failed to make much of an impact with his new club, posting a goal and six points in 25 games. Now 30 years of age, MacDonald will again find himself battling for a third-pairing role on the still-rebuilding Sharks in 2023-24. Look elsewhere on draft day. Read Past Outlooks

Likely scratch for Friday
DSan Jose Sharks
December 14, 2023
MacDonald is likely to be a healthy scratch Friday versus Arizona, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
ANALYSIS
MacDonald has four goals and five points in 13 contests this season. He was also scratched for Tuesday's 2-1 win over Winnipeg. Should MacDonald draw into the lineup Sunday versus Colorado, it might come at the expense of Henry Thrun.

2018 Fantasy Outlook
MacDonald was on an AHL-only deal last season, but is now in the position to start for the Panthers on opening night. Last season with the Binghamton Devils the 25-year-old defender put up 20 goals and 55 points in 75 games, leading the AHL in points. He was also named on the first All-Star team at the end of the season. During preseason MacDonald was constantly praised by head coach Bob Boughner as one of the best defensemen on the ice, so expect the rookie to see significant ice time on the bottom pairing while battling with MacKenzie Weegar, Alex Petrovic, and fellow preseason breakout Bogdan Kiselevich for a permanent spot on the starting lineup.
