Former Boston University defenseman Max Nicastro, who had the rape charges against him from a Feb. 19 arrest dropped last month, signed an entry-level contract with the Red Wings on Tuesday.
Nicastro, who spent three seasons with the Terriers before being dismissed from the team after the arrest, recorded three goals and six assists in 27 games last season.
Along with Nicastro, who was a third-round pick (91st overall) in the 2008 draft, the Red Wings signed 2011 fourth-round pick Marek Tvrdon on Tuesday.
Nicastro, who was the second Terrier to be arrested last season, had his charges dropped on June 1, while former teammate Corey Trivino‘s sexual assault charges from a Dec. 11 arrest have not yet been settled.
Nicastro will likely begin next season with the Red Wings AHL affiliate in Grand Rapids.
