The New York Islanders have reached terms with William Dufour, their top amateur offensive prospect, on a three-year Entry Level Contract.
Dufour, who was a fifth-round pick in 2020, has had an outstanding junior season in the QMJHL with Saint John that has altered hopes for his NHL potential. The Isles announcement rolls through his impressive numbers:
Dufour, 20, leads the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League in goals (52) and points (109) through 61 games this season with the Saint John Sea Dogs. His current point total of 109 is a new Saint John single season record for points, passing Jonathan Huberdeau’s previous mark of 105.
