The Islanders have signed Ilya Sorokin to a one-year contract extension worth $2 million for the 2020-21 season.
The Islanders have signed Ilya Sorokin to a one-year, entry-level contract.
The Islanders have signed Blade Jenkins to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Islanders selected Jenkins in the fifth-round of the 2018 NHL Draft. The 19-year-old, Michigan native spent 2020 with the Saginaw Spirit, where he scored 16 goals with 24 assists (40 points) in 47 games. He will likely return to the OHL for his fourth season in 2021.
The Canadiens have agrred to terms with Alexander Romanov on a three-year, entry-level contract.
Romanov was selected in the second-round (No.38 overall) in 2018 and is expected to make the leap into the NHL in 2020-21. The 20-year-old Russian blueliner has spent the last two seasons in the KHL, where he's played a limited role and tallied just 11 points (1G / 10A) in a combined 86 games for CSKA Moscow. However, while playing against players his own age in the 2019 and 2020 World Juniors, Romanov had two goals and 12 assists (14 points) in 14 games. Due to the current pause of the NHL season, the start date of the contract has yet to be determined.
The Islanders signed Samuel Bolduc to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Bolduc was selected in the second-round (No.57 overall) in 2019 and just finished his fourth year in the QMJHL. Bolduc started the year with Blainville-Boisbriand Armada but was moved to Sherbrooke Phoenix midway through. Overall, the 19-year-old defenseman tallied 11 goals and 32 assists (43 points) in 61 games. His 43 points was a career-best and was eighth among QMJHL blueliners.
The Wild signed Adam Beckman to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Beckman was a third-round pick (No.75 overall) in 2019 and led the WHL in goals (48) and points (107) in 63 games this season. It was obviously a fantastic season for the 18-year-old, who looks like he could be a third-round steal for Minnesota.
The Blues signed Scott Perunovich to a two-year, entry-level contract.
Perunovich was drafted in the second-round (No.45 overall) in 2018 and finished his junior year with a team-leading 40 points (6G / 34A) in 34 games at the University of Minnesota-Duluth.
Goalie Start
