that makes sense ya but lets say we didnt have room on the roster, we wouldnt lose him to the ether if we convinced him to sign his elc to start the next season. Im just saying it might not be the worst idea if Danny can pull it off
if cutter signs and burns a year he gets paid for whatever games he plays so i get theres the immediate benefit but then hes also getting his next contract based on only 2 years of performance instead of 3, so theres some inherent risk to burning a year. and its not unusual for highly drafted players to not burn a year coming from ncaa, JVR didnt burn a year for example, it might be happening more now or we hear about it more now because theres more college guys coming these days but not every team is in a rush to get them into their lineups, and we shouldnt be either
Agreed. The Flyers are going to eat a year no doubt. Christ, they could not even get him to come to devlopment camp (I know he had "reasons"). Why would he do them a favor. Let's face it, the Flyers are not an organization that players are going to do favors for. They are no longer a premier organization......
It’s not a lie if you believe it
THis will NEVER HAPPEN
Not true
signing bonuses probably, its not a loophole. you cant pay a player more than whats in the contract theyve signed. you can sign them to an ATO though, since its an AHL contract theres no salary cap on the per diem you give them, and then they sign their ELC to start the next year. But thats apparently bad juju to the GMs here who wanna do everything the same as the last guy and burn years away. but i bet you thats what he was trying to explain to you.
Wrong

i was just wondering what the options were, i know its happened and happens with prospects it doesnt happen with every college age prospect, farabee didnt burn a year, jvr didnt a burn a year, so its not like its a for sure thing. now i know more about ATOs than I did yesterday tho so I consider that a huge victoryPlease stop obsessing over this thing that is never going to happen with a top prospect like Gauthier. No one was worried here when York burned the first year of his ELC. And do you think Wild fans are mad Boldy burned his first year without playing an NHL game?
Minnesota Wild Sign Matt Boldy to ELC, Burn First Year - The Hockey Writers NHL News Latest News, Analysis & More
The Minnesota Wild have signed Matt Boldy to an ELC contract and will burn the first year of his deal as a result.
It is only a loophole if the player also agrees to it. Do you think his agent is going around saying "please find a way for Cutter to play and not burn a year, pretty please"
Signing a player to an ELC doesn't make him count against your active roster. He needs to be active to do that. A player on an ELC could be in the AHL. He's still on an ELC. Roster space won't be an issue.
morgan frost would have easier time making a deal now if he had 3 full years of NHL experience to support his case for more $$$, so it might not be in Cutter's best interest to only have 2 years of experience playing for a rebuilding team when he signs his 2nd contract, i think people might be getting overly excited about seeing him play in the show
Listen, I get it.... admitting you're wrong is tough but now you're just saying stupid stuff for the sake of arguing. There is no way that Frost would be better off being under an ELC for another year, because:
i dont think you do get it. and now youre just being combative for no reason. you chose to reply to me, and if you disagree with my reply thats fine you can state your case about morgan frost and be on your way instead youre just rude. players burning a year is far less common than playing out the 3 years.
