The centerman is defensively responsible in his pro career, and has regularly posted points in his ECHL career.MacPherson, 21, played three games for Greenville before seeing a stint on reserve with an upper-body injury. He was a regular with the Medicine Hat Tigers before turning pro at the end of last season with Springfield.
