The New York Rangers and Gabe Perreault have agreed to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Perreault will immediately report to New York and is expected to attend the Rangers’ practice on Tuesday.
This all comes after the Boston College Eagles were eliminated in the Manchester Regional Final, ending Perreault’s collegiate career.
The 19-year-old forward will be an option to play for the Rangers on Wednesday night against the Minnesota Wild as all signs point to him making his highly anticipated NHL debut.
The 19-year-old’s entry-level contract comes out to $2.825 million with an annual salary cap hit of $941,667 and another potential $875,000 in achievable performance bonuses according to PuckPedia.
The Blueshirts selected Perreault with the 23rd overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft.
Perreault recorded 16 goals, 32 assists, and 48 points in 37 games for Boston College this season.
Some of the accolades the young forward accumulated over his two years at Boston College include a Hockey East First-Team All-Star and a nomination for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award.
