The New Jersey Devils signed one of the top college free agents Thursday, with Western Michigan forward Dylan Wendt joining them on a two-year contract.

Wendt will initially join the Utica Comets, the Devils' AHL affiliate, on an AHL amateur tryout for the remainder of the season. His two-year entry-level deal with the Devils will start in the 2024-25 campaign.

The San Jose Sharks have signed Quinnipiac University forward Collin Graf, considered the top NCAA free agent this season.

The Sharks signed him to an entry level deal that will begin immediately in the 2023-24 season.

"His on-ice awareness allows him to process the game at a high level, and is a unique player with a quality 200-foot game who excels in the offensive zone. We are excited to have him join the organization," Sharks GM Mike Grier said.
