Anaheim Ducks sign trio of 2021 draft picks to entry-level contracts
On Friday, the Anaheim Ducks announced that they've signed a trio players selected in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft to their three-year entry-level contracts. Those players are, Mason McTavish (first round, third overall), Olen Zellweger (second round, 34th overall), and Sasha Pastujov (third round, 66th overall).
McTavish, 18, played in Switzerland with Olten EHC for the 2020-21 season because the Ontario Hockey League didn't operate due to COVID-19. In 13 games with Olten EHC, McTavish tallied 11 points (9 G, 2 A), six penalty minutes, and was a +4.
Zellweger, 17, spent the 2020-21 season with the Everett Silvertips in the Western Hockey League. In 11 regular season games, he had 13 points (2 G, 11 A), two penalty minutes, and was a +5.
Pastujov, 18, played with the US National Development Team in the USHL where he had 26 points (10 G, 16 A), six penalty minutes, and was a +10. The Bradenton, Florida native originally committed to play with Notre Dame in the NCAA, but will instead sign with the Guelph Storm in the OHL now that he's signed his ELC with Anaheim.
The Ducks also announced the jersey numbers for the three players. McTavish will wear 37, Zellweger will wear 51, and Pastujov will wear 59.
