After the Boston College Eagles were eliminated in the Manchester Regional Final on Sunday night as all eyes are now on Gabe Perreault and the New York Rangers. 

Perreault is now eligible to sign his entry-level contract with the Rangers and start his NHL career or play in with the Hartford Wolf Pack of the American Hockey League. 

According to Emily Kaplan of ESPN, a Perreault entry-level contract with the Rangers could be done as soon as today.

David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period also reports he’s hearing that Perreault will sign with the Rangers today with his NHL debut possibly coming on Wednesday against the Minnesota Wild. 

This comes shortly after it came out that Perreault’s college teammate, Ryan Leonard is expected to sign his entry-level contract with the Washington Capitals and likely play on Tuesday night against the Boston Bruins. 

“It's not if, it's when,” one scout told Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today on when Perreault will join the Rangers.

The Rangers drafted Perreault with the 23rd overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft and he continues to rise up the ranks of the NHL’s best prospects.

The 19-year-old forward has recorded 16 goals, 32 assists, and 48 points in 37 games for Boston College this season.
