reporting to anaheim? weird

why wouldn't they just send him to SD? they really think he's NHL ready?
 
I don't know, the contract isn't on capfriendly yet
Seems like the team that actually signed him to the contract would know before a third party website? Like... they have the actual contract in front of them, unless they either signed him to an illegal contract, or they relayed the wrong information to the media team for the press release. If it's either of those things, sure makes them look unprofessional and/or incompetent on multiple levels.
 
When he is on the NHL roster he gets paid his NHL salary. When he is on the Gulls he gets paid a much lower AHL salary. By starting him on the Ducks not only does he run a year of his ELC, but he also gets a higher salary for the time he is on the Ducks. This extra income was probably necessary to get him to sign. I fully expect him to be in San Diego next year.
 
So which is right?

The team itself said they signed him to a 3 year deal, not 2.
They signed him to a 3 year deal, but one year will be burned this season. Unless teams start wording things like “2-1/4 year deal”

Nah I trust PuckPedia more here. I’m pretty sure it’s a clear rule that someone his age with his birthday can’t sign a 3 year ELC.

Then what I said is still true. If the team reported incorrect terms, that makes them look pretty bad. I mean, they're the ones that actually had him sign the contract. If they can't even be accurate about that... it's not like the publicity team is making things up as they go. They put out whatever the front office gives them.

The article linked in the tweet has been updated to a 2 year deal.

Most people, the Ducks' social team included, probably haven't waded too deep into the contract rules for overagers. Feels like a pretty simple mistake.

No, and it's not their job to do so. They simply release what the higher ups give them, which in this case was the wrong information. It's not the end of the world, but just seems pretty dumb. In Nesterenko's case, it went from Verbeek saying he'd be going to SD on an ATO, to him signing a 3-year deal through 24-25, to now what is actually correct.

Just feel like maybe we shouldn't look too deep into what is a fairly insignificant signing. It's probably just boilerplate draft copy they use and somebody used the wrong one.
 
This says different


As does this


So I dont know what to believe but ok

Nikita Nesterenko - Men's Hockey - Boston College Athletics

I would trust Eliteprospects and the team he most recently played for to have the most accurate information and they both have him at 6'2 185, HockeyDB has him at 6'2 176
