The San Jose Sharks have signed prospect Thomas Bordeleau to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Houston-born center was originally drafted by the Sharks in the second round of the 2020 NHL Draft (38th overall). On April 12, he signed an amateur tryout agreement (ATO) with the AHL’s San Jose Barracuda, which would allow him to retain his NCAA eligibility, should he wish to return. Bordeleau went on to play in the Barracuda’s final two home games of the season, which included a stellar three-point professional debut (all assists).
“Thomas is a skilled playmaker with a high hockey IQ at both ends of the ice,” said Interim General Manager Joe Will in a release.
