Report: Penguins sign Dartmouth forward O’Connor

The Penguins signed Dartmouth sophomore forward Drew O'Connor to an entry-level contract on Monday, according to a report from TSN's Frank Seravalli.

O'Connor is 21 years old, so the entry-level deal must be for three years per NHL rules.

Seravalli recently called O'Connor a "legitimate NHL power forward" and ranked him the No. 4 available college free agent this summer:

"The ECAC’s Co-Player of the Year has sprouted into a can’t-miss find. O’Connor was just 5-foot-8 at age 18, a big reason he wasn’t on NHL radars in his draft year, but has grown to 6-foot-3 while playing for the appropriately named for the Big Green.
