Arizona State has added graduate transfer forward Robbie Baillargeon from Boston University for the 2016-17 season.

As a graduate transfer, Baillargeon will be eligible to play right away and won’t be required to sit out a season.

A 2012 fifth round draft pick of the Ottawa Senators, Baillargeon played three years for the Terriers (2013-16) and led the program in scoring during his freshman season in 2013-14 with 27 points (10 goals, 17 assists).

“I’m getting to know Robbie and I really believe he is a special kid and special talent,” said Sun Devils coach Greg Powers in a statement. “He did some really good things for a great program in BU and needed a fresh change of scenery and we ended up being a perfect fit both ways. Robbie will give our young team great experience that we need and we couldn’t be happier that Robbie Baillargeon is a Sun Devil.”
