Another example - Jake Sanderson in Ottawa. Drafted 5th overall in 2020. Signed his ELC on March 27, 2022 at age 20. Burned the first year without playing an NHL or AHL game.

im just wondering if theres a way danny can bring him up without burning a year, it would be good asset management to explore every option it was more thinking out loud than me saying thats what will happen

Well, he's not the sexy playmaking center you like to cream over, but there is a place for big, fast centers in the NHL.

We'll get a much better feel for his potential this season at BC, one issue he's had is he's too good of a scorer, otherwise he'd have been the 2C in international competition and the USDP instead of the 1LW.
I wouldn't quit on Gauthier before I see him play an NHL game.

ya ive been doing some reading and a club and player can agree to an amateur tryout contract instead of burning an a year off an ELC. Heres an example :


signed to an ELC that kicks in next year, and also signed an ATO for the rest of the 2023 season. i knew there was something recently like this but this is what i meant.

Did he play in the NHL?

You need an NHL contract…to play in the NHL…genius.
"was also signed to a three-year entry-level contract by the Red Wings, beginning in the 2023-24 campaign"

he signed the ATO and an ELC. the ATO was so he could play in the AHL without burning a year of his ELC. and you can absolutely get called up to play for an NHL club when youre on an ATO. so youre misunderstanding something fundamental to this conversation but I hope this helps

You cannot play NHL games on an ATO but anything to avoid admitting you’re not wrong. Good luck.

the amateur part of ATO only means they havent played pro games, its for players coming from junior and college leagues. players that have played professional games sign a PTO or a pro tryout, and its the same thing as an ATO. It allows a player to play professional hockey games without a contract in place, that includes AHL and NHL games. I think youre confused still. sorry for being hostile earlier calling you a genius but youre not really doing anything to help your case man. I didnt understand it at first either thats why I did a little research and u can too big buddy

It does not include NHL games no matter how many times you repeat it. You can play ONE game under emergency recall and that is mostly reserved for goalies because the emergency restrictions are easier to navigate with a goalie.

If/when Gauthier plays in the NHL next year it will be under a standard ELC that starts in the 23/24 season. There is no workaround and the player is not going to sign without that happening.

An Amateur tryout (ATO) contract exists in the NHL, the AHL and the ECHL. This type of contract is for players who are leaving college and attempting to turn professional, are done with college or are graduating from the junior leagues. An ATO is a very common practice near the end of the professional seasons as they go deeper into the year than college or junior schedules. In the NHL, an ATO may only be used for one day on an emergency basis, with no pay or compensation for skaters, per Exhibit 17 of the NHL–NHLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). ATOs in the NHL are typically only used for goaltenders since, in practice, teams always retain more than the needed 18 skaters on their NHL rosters, making it highly likely any skater who becomes unavailable for a game on short notice can be replaced by another player who otherwise would have been a "healthy scratch".

For goaltenders and skaters, the ATO may only be used according to section 13-13(m)(ii) of the NHL-NHLPA CBA, when Emergency conditions shall be established when the playing strength of the Loaning Club, by reason of incapacitating injury or illness or by League suspension to its Players is reduced below the level of two (2) goalkeepers, six (6) defensemen and twelve (12) forwards. Proof of the existence of the emergency conditions including the incapacity shall be furnished to the Commissioner of the League upon request made by him.

why would we burn a year of his ELC just to bring him in for a handful of games? he can sign the ATO with the phantoms, and if the Flyers have an injury they can call him up. I never said it was going to happen, I just said there was a way and there is

Because it's SOP for top prospects, they're not going to risk injury without a corresponding benefit.
Lesser talents are happy for the opportunity to showcase their talents, top prospects know they have a starting job waiting for them.

There are some, very limited, conditions where a player can play in the NHL on an ATO. But it is not a sustainable or feasible way for anyone to play more than 1 game, and even to play 1 game it is very hard to jump through the hoops to do so. And Michkov would not be a player who would ever really be eligible to.

As effectively to be re-called on an emergency basis it would have to be impossible to bring anyone up who had a valid SPC to play in the game... so the Flyers would have to contrive a situation where they were on a road-trip, had not enough players, not enough time to get another player, and Michkov travelling with them, and then he would be able to play one game IF the NHL approved it, which would be unlikely.

The CBA lays out the conditions for playing in the NHL on an ATO in 11.1.b and 13.12(m)(ii). It is only under emergency re-call conditions.

In effect you cannot play in the NHL on an ATO unless:

The team has less than 2 goalies, 6 Dmen and 12 forwards available.

And:

The contract is for 1 day.
The league have to approve it.
The player gets zero salary.


Also, there is no such thing as an NHL PTO (aside from for goalies).

Furthermore, ATOs that you have identified are not actually signed with the NHL team, but the AHL team, which have different rules.

You can play in the AHL on a standard AHL ATO and PTO with basically no approval. The NHL has far different rules.

ya its standard when you want to get them in the lineup but theres not any rush for cutter. Id rather Danny doesnt burn a year for what are ultimately meaningless games. it wont hurt his develop if his season ends in april instead of may. the injury part makes sense but a contract just puts the responsibility on the team it doesnt make it less likely he gets injured

College players have leverage and this is the standard that has been set. The Flyers wanted him to sign for this year. They will be horned up to do so in April. They are not going to risk losing him for an ELC year. Mind you they lose the first year of his ELC and not one year of player control.

And no. There still really isn’t another way for him to play in the NHL next year as has been explained by multiple people now.

i was wrong about the amount of games but it is possible to play in the nhl on an ATO, thats all i was tryinf to figure out and until other people explained it you just said no they cant, so it wasnt really helpful if thats how you intended.

why would they risk losing him? is he going to decide to go back to college for a third year? as much as i want to see cutter play theres no benefit to burning the first year for a handful of NHL games in a year when everybody wants us to lose as much as possible. they sign him to the elc to start 24/25 and he can suit up for the phantoms on an ATO for the last month of the season, and if they have a run at the calder cup thats even better. Then his ELC kicks in at the start of the next season, easy peasy

I honestly doubt cutter is the guy they'd choose to play hardball with. He'll burn his first year with the phantoms this year most definitely.
What worries me is a repeat of what york did last year where they didn't return him in time from the nhl club for him to get playoff experience which hurt both the players and the team

You don't play hardball with a player you think may be a cornerstone of your team for 10 years and sour relations before he even plays for you.
Burning one year of the ELC isn't a big deal, if he's the player you hope he'll be, you'll be signing him to a big long-term deal in a few seasons in any case.

As an observer, no that's not what were doing. You were condescending to someone despite being wrong. You certainly were implying him playing more than 1 game on an emergergency basis without getting paid. After all you said "NHL games".

And you keep saying that you would rather have him play all 3 ELC years than burning a year off for a few games. We all would. But all top drafted college guys get this done and you keep ignoring that. It's not the same as a late 1st or later guy.

We all make mistakes on here. Today you made yours. Over time you will know certain guys who know their shit and who are full of shit. He knows his shit.
