Bruins prospect Quinn Olson signs a contract outside the organization

Quinn Olson, a forward prospect for the Bruins, has made a significant move by signing with AHL Ontario for the remainder of the season, as reported by Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal. This decision puts pressure on Boston, as they risk losing their exclusive signing rights to Olson if they fail to reach an entry-level contract agreement by August 15.

At 23 years old, Olson's transition to the professional ranks looms closer. Having recently completed a five-year tenure at the University of Minnesota-Duluth, where he notably served as an alternate captain in his senior and graduate seasons, Olson brings a wealth of collegiate experience to his new venture. His impressive collegiate statistics, totaling 27 goals and 96 points across 175 games, underscore his potential as a valuable asset for any team.





The absence of an invitation to try out for Boston's AHL affiliate in Providence suggests that Olson is on track to enter unrestricted free agency come August. This development underscores the uncertainty surrounding his future with the Bruins organization.
