Florida Panthers general manager Dale Tallon announced Wednesday that former NHL defenseman Bryan McCabe has been promoted to the position of director of player personnel.

McCabe has worked in the Panthers' organization over the past five years, most recently holding the title of director of player development.

The 42-year-old suited up for six NHL franchises over the course of his 16-year career, including three seasons in Florida between 2008-11 when he served as the team's sixth captain in franchise history.
