In addition to adding Ayrton Martino yesterday, Texas also signed ATO contracts with two more collegiate players: forward Sean Chisholm from Dartmouth and Martino teammate defenseman Trey Taylor.

Chisholm is on an ATO alone. Taylor also signed a two-year ELC with Dallas to begin next season.

Here's the release: 

Taylor, 23, just completed his junior season at Clarkson, where he totaled 29 points (9-20—29) in 39 games and served as his team’s captain, before turning pro and signing a two-year entry-level contract with Dallas on Monday that begins in 2025-26. His 29 points were a career high, ranked fourth on his team and were tied for ninth among all NCAA defensemen this season. Taylor’s 2024-25 campaign also tied for the eighth-highest scoring by a defenseman in program history, and his also set NCAA career highs in goals, assists and power-play goals (4). His performance this season earned him ECAC Best Defensive Defenseman honors for the second-consecutive season.

Chisholm, 24, wrapped up his senior season at Dartmouth College with 27 points (15-12—27) in 33 games, setting career highs in goals and points.
