Just post better
Here’s another guy - I said this about Jiricek and Mateychuk - who should spend the lion’s share of the season next year in Cleveland.

They could get him in for this weekend's game but it seems like this would make him ineligible for the playoffs on an ATO contract.

Very odd decision but I guess if that’s what it took to get him signed it’s worth it..

Sounds like they are just moving it along faster. Get him in next year instead of another year in college.
Some folks on the mains are disputing that this burns an ELC year. Hoping for some more info on that.

Teams have players under control for 7 years with the standard ELC. Making it 6 years by playing in a single game.
It really doesn't make any difference long term. If the kid is a keeper, all it means is that he'll get an RFA raise a year earlier.
Oops. I forgot that Johnny "59 points -30" Hockey and 8 year Severson will still be on the books.

3 with the standard, 2 by playing a single game.
I know you're talking about the RFA years, but that's different from the ELC.
This part sounds right to me.
He can become a UFA in 7 years after playing his first 40 game season, that more important clock hasn't started yet. It looks like we just started it with Jiricek though, that's just great.

I hope he really shines in 2 minutes of ice time PV will give him.

RFA years was my intention.
I just don't think the year is anything to worry about. I also think that 6 years of club control is more than enough.
Burning a year of eligibility seems to be the norm for kids of certain pedigree. It's a non-issue and could be the tipping point in getting a kid into the system instead of giving him more time to decide to return to school when it's clear the team wants him under their control.

Its an incentive to get someone off the fence. Nice signing bonus, one year closer to big boy contract, a fair (but not likely) chance to make the team.
I'm thinking he would like to be getting paid quicker. Elvis did the same thing.
Honestly whatever. This franchise doesn't exactly have the winning pedigree to tell young kids with talent to shutup and earn it for 3 years so if it got him signed so be it.
If he plays in any games I think we'll have our answer.

$95,000 in signing bonuses + an NHL game check (should be another $12k or so) + getting to RFA a year sooner is a really strong incentive to turn pro tbh.
on the CBJ side, it ensures that they don't lose him as a college UFA in a couple years (even if it was a remote chance) + gets a player who they are clearly very high on into their hands for development.

This guy will play here 12 years and some of you will still gripe about burning a year. Jarmo's fault. CBJ doesn't know what they are doing.
There is little impact to this and more incentive for the player to get going. Nazar did the same thing. This is common these days. He's signed and in the fold... take a minute to be happy for goodness sake. Not everything needs to be run through the mud for cbj.
