He’s going to be a good player.

Seems, rushed.

Was Tanner Howe rushed? Leon Muggli? Sam Dickinson? Beckett Sennecke? Or Konsta Helenius? How about Stian Solberg or Jett Luchanko? How about Gridin or Parekh or Parascak?

 

[Shroud of Orrin]

RT does not f-ck around. He’s waited a long time for this…lol

You’re next pal. Take a number.

 

[Patty Ice]

Seems, rushed.

Need an explanation there.

Seems, mind numbing.

Is there some joke with the weird punctuation

 

[Siludin]

Seems, rushed.

Why, would you be asking, me of all people when, you could? question your own? Dang, self pal!!!

 

[BonMorrison]

I am old.

 

[Grantham]

Plays a pro ready game. Wouldn't shock me if he made the club first year

 

[Figgy44]

Cool! Congrats to Tiggy!

Now list the hundreds of rushed players.

There doesn’t need an explanation. 99% of 18 year olds are not ready for the NHL in this day and age unless you are some sort of elite superstar, which he isn’t.

Yes, because signing your ELC means you're playing straight away.

Now list the hundreds of rushed players.

That was just a list of 2024 draft selections who signed ELCs this week. And I didn’t count Celebrini or Levshunov. Around 1/3 of the 1st round picks have signed ELCs already and it’s not even been a month since the draft.

Who said he’s NHL ready? I don’t think you understand what an ELC is.

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

Seems, rushed.

Signing an ELC doesn’t mean he’s automatically going to be on the Utah team ya dingo

 

[clydesdale line]

I thought a player had to be 18 to sign an ELC? Iginla is still 17 for like another 3 weeks.

Utah a bunch of cheaters already

It's based on the players age as of September 15th

They can sign him to an entry level contract and send him back to juniors if he's not ready. It doesn't burn a year in early July.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

Bust

 

[hangman005]

That's the first time I've a pic of Tig.... either way seems weird seeing Iginla with hair

Either way, hope it works out for Utah.

I’m so bummed my Sens lost out on this guy one pick before us.

We were taking him if he was there

Yakemchuk is a great pick though. I had Tij at 7th on my final list and I had Yakemchuk 8th.
