Confirmed with Link: Ducks sign Nikita Nesterenko to ELC (2 years, $925K AAV)

[ADHB]

2019 6th round pick and was the Wilds #21 ranked prospect going into the season. Hes also a twig at 6' and only 156lbs.

Lets see what he can do

???

He's 6-2, 185.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Did not expect him to come straight to Anaheim. Just a pit stop before heading to San Diego?

Just a pit stop so later in life he can tell his family and friends he once played in the NHL.

 

[Terry Yake]

reporting to anaheim? weird

why wouldn't they just send him to SD? they really think he's NHL ready?

 

[Anarchynate]

???

He's 6-2, 185.

Thought the same thing lol he’s a big kid

 

[ADHB]

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.

 

[Anarchynate]

Nesterenko, Mintyukov, Michkov, Galimov, & Buteyets. sound very nice together. The next Russian 5

 

[GreatBear]

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.

 

[12ozPapa]

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”

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

I think Puckpedia is the right one here, he can’t sign a 3-year ELC, same with LaCombe.

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.

The headline of the article on our website says 2 year (despite it saying 3 inside it, and in the graphic)

Ducks Sign Nesterenko to Two-Year Entry-Level Contract | Anaheim Ducks

The Ducks have signed center Nikita Nesterenko to a two-year entry-level contract through the 2023-24 NHL season. He will report to Anaheim.

[The Midnight Burrito]

I'm not sure how much I love that Verbeek went out and publicly said Nesterenko would be signing an ATO with San Diego this year, then this happened instead. Not bothered by the ELC itself, but it's another log on the fire of "can GMPV actually negotiate?"

Yeah that's weird.

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.

 

[DavidBL]

Looks like 18-21 is 3 year ELC, 22-23 is 2 year and 24 is 1 year.

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.

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

 

[Ducks DVM]

If he can play in the NHL at all, then the Klingberg experience wasn’t a total bust.

 

[SmokeyDuck]

Yall are weird. Probably didnt want another Thrun/Schultz situation so enticed him to start in Anaheim. NBD.

Fair enough. between 6-6'2" and 156-185lbs lol

Lets see what the team ends up putting up for stats, thats what I will believe

Replacing Klingberg is a pretty low bar.
