This Tweet comes to you via Paul Kukla of Kukla’s Korner: Red Wings invited big defenseman Jeremie Biakabutuka to their prospect tournament and training camp last fall, but chose not to sign the 21-year-old defender.
Biakabutuka also played in 3 games for the Grand Rapids Griffins after wrapping up a 42-point season for the QMJHL’s Charlottetown Islanders, but he signed with the St. Louis Blues today:
We've signed Jeremie Biakabutuka to a three-year entry-level contract. https://t.co/kCrV8HXkdP
