The Arizona Coyotes and defenseman Jakob Chychrun have come to terms on an entry-level contract, the club announced Saturday.
The Coyotes selected him 16th overall in June's draft after acquiring the pick from the Detroit Red Wings along with Pavel Datsyuk's contract in exchange for the 20th and 53rd picks.
Chychrun notched 49 points in 62 regular-season games in his second season with the OHL's Sarnia Sting, adding two goals and six assists in seven playoff contests.
The 18-year-old was one of two 2016 first-round picks for the Coyotes, who chose forward Clayton Keller seventh overall.
