On Thursday, the New York Islanders announced that they and prospect Samuel Bolduc came to an agreement on a three-year entry-level contract.
Drafted in the second round of the 2019 entry draft, Samuel Bolduc made a splash with the Islanders thanks to a strong showing during the 2019 training camp. He'd go back to junior, but his name was officially on the radar now.
Bolduc had a strong season between the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada and Sherbrooke Phoenix where he scored a career-high 43 points in 61 games. The 19-year-old will be eligible to play in the AHL this season where he'll join a growing core of blueliners like Sebastian Aho, Grant Hutton, and Bode Wilde as well as recent signing Adam Brubacher.
