Fresh off winning his second consecutive college national championship, Riley Tufte signed his entry-level contract with the Dallas Stars today. The 2016 first round pick (25th overall) has a championship pedigree with those two wins and a runner-up bid as a freshman at Minnesota-Duluth.
Tufte is likely to slot into the lineup with the Texas Stars next season, adding to a massive youth movement that already includes players like Jason Robertson, Jake Oettinger and Tye Felhaber.
Here's the release:
Dallas Stars General Manager Jim Nill announced today that the club has signed left wing Riley Tufte to a three-year, entry-level contract.
