The Florida Panthers have signed one of their top prospects, Jayce Hawryluk, to an entry-level contract, the team announced Tuesday.
Hawryluk, a center, was selected in the second round, 32nd overall by the Panthers in 2014.
He's scored 30 goals and has already established a career high in points at the Major Junior level, with 79 in 49 games with the Brandon Wheat Kings this season.
Hawryluk ostensibly sealed his first professional contract with 33 points in 13 games over the last month.
