The Anaheim Ducks put pen to paper with 2016 first-round pick Sam Steel on a three-year entry-level contract, the team announced on Tuesday.
Steel - who was among Team Canada's final cuts for this year's world juniors team - is pacing the Western Hockey League in scoring, having amassed 23 goals and 54 points 25 games.
The 18-year-old was picked 30th overall by the Ducks at last year's draft, using the selection acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Frederik Andersen deal.
