Jake Bischoff

June 2018 – After getting drafted out of the USHL by the New York Islanders in 2012, Bischoff has taken the long path to the NHL by spending one more year in the USHL followed by his four-year commitment to the University of Minnesota. He progressed his offensive game and was given more responsibility in all four years before signing his professional contract with the Islanders. After the long journey to get that first contract, things have been much more hectic. Bischoff was a part of an expansion draft trade, which moved him to the Vegas organization along with Grabovski’s large contract. The former Big-10 first team all-star looked professionally ready in his first full season with the Chicago Wolves of the AHL and was able to play in 69 of their games and found the score sheet 23 times. He’ll look to take on a bigger role within the AHL organization as Vegas has full control of their farm team, and will probably get a couple cups of coffee in the NHL in 2018-19. Mason Black
