The Colorado Avalanche signed Boston University forward Shane Bowers to a three-year, entry-level contract, the Avalanche announced Friday.
The deal won't begin until the 2019-20 season, but Bowers will report to the AHL's Colorado Eagles on an amateur tryout contract.
The 19-year-old sophomore forward produced 11 goals and 21 points over 37 games with the Terriers this season.
Bowers was the Ottawa Senators' first-round pick in 2017. He was dealt to the Avalanche in the three-team swap involving Matt Duchene later that year.
A slew of Boston University players have turned pro since the team's 2018-19 season ended, including Dante Fabbro, Joel Farabee, Jake Oettinger, Bobo Carpenter, and Chad Krys.
