Penguins Sign 2025 Third-Round Goalie Gabriel D’Aigle to Three-Year Entry-Level Deal

The deal begins in 2026–27, with D’Aigle finishing this season in Victoriaville.

Overview

  • The contract carries a $995,000 cap hit with signing bonuses of $94,425, $95,000 and $95,575, and a fixed $85,000 AHL salary each year.
  • It runs through the 2028–29 season after taking effect next year.
  • D’Aigle will complete the QMJHL season with the Victoriaville Tigres, and an AHL tryout is allowable this spring but has not been pursued.
  • The 19-year-old has a .908 save percentage in 39 games, has faced a league-high 37.1 shots per game and ranks in the QMJHL’s top 10 by save percentage.
  • He is viewed as Pittsburgh’s No. 3 goalie prospect and is likely to start his pro career in the ECHL in 2026–27, marking the club’s first 2026–27 entry-level signing as it enters summer with sizable cap space.
