More of a shooter.
What I don't get is we why are burning ELC unless they think he's a better top six option than we have. lol Maybe this is just what it took to sign him, which is ok
Giving college kids guaranteed spots during a cup window is pretty clown world. Nothing against Hutson, but
Burning a year on the ELC is pretty much standard procedure for these type of signings. It is part of the package to get the kid to sign.This. Speaks to the hole the org finds itself in, with respect to injuries and organizational depth.
Pathetic.
There is no guaranteed spot here. He simply goes on the roster for a few days. Then his ELC becomes a 1 year deal.
There are some possible advantages in doing this. There is a better chance that his second contract would be lower this way if he shows that he has potential and signs next off season than it would be after a second year where his numbers could well be much better. But if he does not show NHL potential your out of the contract after one year.
