SAN JOSE, Calif. — The San Jose Sharks have signed former University of Denver forward Dylan Gambrell to an entry-level contract.
General manager Doug Wilson announced the move Monday, a day after Gambrell's college season ended with a loss to Ohio State in the regional final. Gambrell was a second-round pick by San Jose in 2016.
Wilson says he believes Gambrell has the speed and knowledge that make him ready to be an NHL player.
Gambrell had 13 goals and 30 assists in 40 games this season. He helped Denver win the NCAA title last year and has 43 goals and 89 assists in 120 career college games.
