San Jose Sharks Sign Top Prospect

The San Jose Sharks have signed Thomas Bordeleau to a three-year, entry-level contract. It begins this season, and he is expected to join the NHL squad immediately.

Bordeleau signed a tryout contract with the San Jose Barracuda earlier this week and was excellent in the process. In two games with the AHL team, he recorded three assists. This clearly created confidence within the Sharks organization, as they have committed to signing him to his ELC very quickly. 

Bordeleau just completed his sophomore season with the University of Michigan, and it was a year to remember. In 37 games, the 2020 second-round pick scored 12 goals and added 25 assists. This came after a 30-point campaign in just 24 games the season before, so it's clear that he is a gifted offensive player.

It will be intriguing to see how Bordeleau performs with the NHL team from here, but the Sharks have to be ecstatic that they now have one of their top prospects officially locked up.
