The Florida Panthers got one of the top collegiate point producers to sign on the dotted line.
Henrik Borgstrom inked his three-year, entry-level deal Monday.
The 20-year-old center poured in 52 points across 40 games in his sophomore season with the University of Denver, which was eliminated by Ohio State in the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament on Sunday.
His point total put him in a tie for fourth in the NCAA and placed him first in his conference, the NCHC, which gave him 2018 player of the year honors.
Borgstrom is one of 10 finalists for the Hobey Baker Award, given annually to the top U.S. college hockey player.
He helped Denver capture the 2017 NCAA championship.
