Jacob Quillan, a 22-year-old forward from Quinnipiac University, has been signed to a two-year entry-level contract by the Toronto Maple Leafs. Quillan, who had an impressive last season with 17 goals and 46 points in 39 games, is a Dartmouth, NS native and played a pivotal role in Quinnipiac's success, including scoring the overtime goal in the 2023 NCAA Championship that eliminated Minnesota. The signing follows Quinnipiac's narrow 5-4 loss to Boston College. Quillan was highly sought after, with significant competition for his services, and some scouts believe he has more NHL upside than his Quinnipiac teammate Collin Graf.

Mentioned this today: some scouts believe Quillan has more #NHL upside than Quinnipiac teammate Collin Graf, who is also a highly touted undrafted free agent. Teams believe Graf is sticking in the East. He’s received a ton of interest - more teams have made offers than not. https://t.co/ctGCH11XV7
