Islanders website : Reports Brock Nelson has signed an entry level contract.
Isles twitter reports it's a three year ELC.
UND.com Also confirms signing and that Nelson will turn pro.
Michael Fornabaio reports Nelson is expected to join the Sound Tigers in the near future on an amateur tryout.
NYIFC Comments:
As much as folks may have been disappointed with Anders Lee not signing yet/returning to school, Brock Nelson was the one Garth Snow traded up for that draft experts were very impressed with.
Nelson was the player Snow needed to get under contract after Kessel/Gregoire used the Wheeler loop-hole to sign elsewhere.
Nelson on an ATO with Bridgeport would not make him playoff eligible because he's was not on clear-day/residence list. He could get a game before the season ends.
