He went undrafted. And there's a window which opens after the draft and ends before the season starts where you can offer young players like this ELCs. Dallas has done it a couple times in the past (Tristan King and Maxime Lagace).
It's not that common and 99 times out of a hundred, the player becomes nothing. I'm sure that I'm forgetting someone, but the only guy I can even think of to turn into a semi notable NHL player is Josh Gorges.
Brenden Dillon was an undrafted free agent the Stars gave an ELC as well . Only one in recent memory who became an NHL player from what i recall.
