The Bruins added some size and edge to their prospect pool on Wednesday with the signing of Cornell’s Dalton Bancroft.
The 6-foot-3, 207-pound physical left-shot forward inked a one-year entry level deal that will carry an NHL cap hit of 950,000. He will finish the season with Providence on an amateur tryout contract.
A 24-year-old undrafted free agent out of Madoc, Ontario, Brancroft posted 15-12-27 totals in 36 games for Cornell last season while playing with Bruin draftee Ryan Walsh (20023 sixth rounder, 188th overall.) In 103 NCAA games with Cornell, Bancroft had 36-43-79 totals.
In 2021-22, he was the MVP of the Ontario Junior Hockey League with a league-high 37-55-92 totals.
Bancroft joins Dans Locmelis ,the Latvian product out of UMass whom the B’s signed on Tuesday, as they bolster Providence’s stretch run.
