If he decides to go pro next year, he could sign his ELC after the 2024-2025 NCAA season and arrive on Broadway soon after.

«Just focused on having another big year at school hopefully win the national championship and then when that times I'll probably discuss it with my family, my agent, obviously the Rangers see where they think I'm at, see where I think I'm at and make a decision from there,» Perreault said.
