The Winnipeg Jets have signed defensive prospect Leon Gawanke to an NHL contract.
The German-born player inked a three-year entry-level deal with an annual salary of US$810,000.
Gawanke, who turns 20 next week, was drafted by Winnipeg in the fifth round of the 2017 NHL draft. He played the last three seasons with the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
This season, he was third among QMJHL defencemen with 57 points (17G, 40A) in 62 games.
