The Sharks made another trade following the one involving Michael Kesselring, acquiring the rights to unsigned forward Andre Gasseau and the 120th overall pick in this year's draft from the Boston Bruins in exchange for picks 104 and 157 in this year's draft.
A former seventh-round selection of the Bruins in 2021, Gasseau is a Southern California native and a former teammate of Will Smith at Boston College. He recently completed his senior season at Boston College, serving as Team Captain and recording six goals, 17 assists, and 23 points in 23 games. These stats were good for fourth among Boston College skaters in scoring this past season. In total, Gasseau has compiled 43 goals, 68 assists, and 111 points in 135 NCAA games to complete his collegiate career. Both Gasseau and Smith were members of the Boston College team that advanced to the NCAA national championship game during the 2023-24 season. He has until August 15 to sign with the Sharks before he becomes an unrestricted free agent, which should not be an issue for Team Teal. Overall, this is a relatively minor deal as of now but could become an underrated pickup down the road if all goes to plan.
