part of the PHPA which governs the AHL/ECHL that's why it's rare to see a PTO contract at the NHL Level and why PTO'S/ATO'S are terms more commonly used in all 3 leagues more so toward the end of each season, it's just contractual terminology;Kuntar is 21 so he has to sign a 3 year ELC I believe per the NHL. Maybe he isnt "signed" and they agreed on contract and will sign it in June when he turns 22 which then kicks in a 2 year ELC?
