The San Jose Sharks announced today that they have signed forward Andre Gasseau to a two‑year, two‑way entry‑level contract, a move that adds depth and versatility to the club’s forward ranks.
At 22, Gasseau just completed his senior season at Boston College, where he contributed 23 points in 23 games and finished fourth on the team in scoring.
College Success Fuels Professional Ambitions
Selected by the Boston Bruins in the seventh round of the 2021 NHL Draft, the Massachusetts native has compiled 111 points over 135 NCAA appearances, a testament to his offensive consistency.
His development path includes a stint in the USHL with Fargo and two seasons with the United States National Development Program, experiences that prepared him for the professional game.
Reuniting with a Familiar Face
Gasseau will reunite with former Boston College teammate Will Smith, a fellow Shark prospect who also earned a contract earlier this summer, giving the club an added chemistry option up front.
The signing reflects San Jose’s intent to cultivate talent from the college ranks while maintaining flexibility under the salary cap, positioning the team for a competitive push in the upcoming season.
