The Tampa Bay Lightning have made a move, signing prospect Dylan Duke to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Duke's deal will begin during the 2024-25 season, but he will report to the Syracuse Crunch of an ATO immediately.
Dylan Duke Duke, 21, was selected by the Lightning with the 126th overall pick of the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. Since then, he spent three seasons with the University of Michigan, posting 54 goals and 100 points in 123 games.
The 2023-24 season was Duke's best with the school, as he set new career highs with 26 goals, 23 assists, and 49 points in 41 games. Now, he has earned his ELC and will look to carry over this momentum to the pros.
