If he comes over this year and we burn the year off his ELC, his ELC will be up at the same time as Josi's contract. If not, and we sign him so that his contract starts at the start of next season, his ELC ends at the same time as Bonino's contract. Something to think about for Poile.
Are you sure? because I think this came up in the past and it’s 9 games total reguardless of playoffs or regular season. I think some college kids have made their debuts in the playoffs and did not burn a year.1 playoff game burns a year.
I think you are right, except 9 games is the limit. Fiala played 1 playoff game in 2015 and still has 1 1/2 years left on his ELC as of now.Are you sure? because I think this came up in the past and it’s 9 games total reguardless of playoffs or regular season.

What is an Entry Level Slide?
If a player who is signed to an entry-level contract and is 18 or 19 years of age (as of September 15 of the signing year), does not play in a minimum of 10 NHL games (including both regular season and playoffs; AHL games do not count), their contract is considered to ‘slide’, or extend, by one year. For example, if a player signed an ELC for three seasons from 2015-16 to 2017-2018, and their contract slides, their contract is now effective from 2016-17 to 2018-19. An exception to this rule is that if the player is 19 on September 15 of the first year of their contract, and turns 20 between September 16 and December 31, their contract does not slide.
Players who sign at 18 years old are eligible to have their contracted extended for 2 seasons. This extension does not apply if the player turns 20 between September 16 and December 31 in his signing year. Signing bonuses do not slide, and are paid to the player regardless of a slide, this causes the annual average of the players contract to change, and therefore the cap hit decreases for this player.
All this discussion about bringing him over for the playoffs ... he isn't under contract with Nashville, right? So he'd have to sign a contract prior to the trade deadline to be eligible to play in the playoffs (unless that rule has been changed). Won't his KHL team still be playing then? So it seems unlikely he'll be coming over for the playoffs.

This is what I was asking. Thanks for the info.Yeah the only reason Radulov was allowed to play was because of how he left with a year left on his contract with Nashville. It was a big deal for other teams, especial Detroit since it looked like we would have them in the first round (we, of course, did).
He hasn't signed yetIs there any news regarding him actually signing a contract with us?
I didn't know if there were any upcoming negotiations or anything (wasn't assuming so), because all this talk of him coming over late season seems pretty moot without itHe hasn't signed yet

He can't come over this year. Jokerit would have to void his contract and allow him to sign with Nashville, and that would have to happen before the TDL on the 26th of February (the KHL season would still be going on, and Jokerit is in third in the Western Conference so they are looking at playoffs). If for some reason Jokerit falls out of playoff contention, he would still have to have his contract voided before the trade deadline. Otherwise, he could sign a contract with us but would be ineligible to play any games.
