The Pittsburgh Penguins signed goaltending prospect Gabriel D’Aigle to a three-year entry-level contract Saturday.
This contract is slated to begin with the 2026-27 season. According to Puckpedia, the deal will carry a salary cap hit of $995,000.
D’Aigle, 19, was a third-round draft pick (No. 84 overall) in 2025.
This season, as a member of the Victoriaville Tigres of the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), D’Aigle has appeared in 39 games and has posted a 14-21-3 record, a 3.58 goals against average and a .908 save percentage.
During the 2024-25 season, D’Aigle (6-foot-4, 212 pounds) faced a league-high 1,940 shots with the Tigres.
“He had a ton of work,” Penguins assistant general manager Jason Spezza said in July during a development camp. “He got thrust into a situation where he played a ton. Played, basically, every night on a bad team and got faced with a lot of shots. Now that we have him in the roost, we’re going to try to help him with his technical game. The athleticism and size is there. Now, it’s just kind of building his game up with some structure.”
