Rangers sign top prospect Gabe Perreault after Boston College’s NCAA ouster
NY Post
The Rangers are wasting no time bringing their top prospect to New York.
After his sophomore season at Boston College came to an end Sunday night with a loss to Denver in the NCAA Regional Final, Gabe Perreault signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Blueshirts and is expected to report to New York on Tuesday, The Post’s Larry Brooks first reported Monday.
Perreault burned a year off his ELC the moment he put pen to paper on his first NHL contract, which has him set to become a restricted free agent in the summer of 2027.
“He’s too smart for college hockey,” as one college coach put it to The Post.
Hailed for his offensive talents, Perreault quickly became an untouchable after the organization drafted him 23rd overall in 2023.
A native of Hinsdale, Ill., he made a name for himself at BC and in the last two World Junior Championships, in which Perreault played a critical role in Team USA’s first set of back-to-back gold medal wins in history.
