Soooo ... Timashov not off to a great start with the Marlies? (1G 1A in 10 games)
Any thoughts on the kid?

Struck me as a great playmaker but very average skater?

It looks like he's getting the Kapanen treatment a bit from last year, wouldn't worry about it until he's a fixture in the top 6, that would probably either be after the TDL or next year. Johnsson having the same sort of lack of boxscore success

In terms of tools, definitely has incredible vision, I think his skating is a plus even for his small stature - good acceleration, good top speed, very good balance - low, strong and sturdy

Could be a very nice fit in the leafs top 6 if he turns out, we don't have a pure puck distributor to speak of

Time to call him up for 10 games to burn a year off his ELC so we're not stuck with the contract into 2020 in case he's a bust :sarcasm:

*And yes his contract slides this year if he doesn't play 10 NHL games because he's a late birthday for those who were about to tell me my joke makes no sense

Back it up. Show us where in the CBA it says he has to play 10 games in the NHL to burn the first year of his ELC.

From CapFriendly

"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."

The first year of his contract was last year. He signed it November 23rd, 2015 so it officially started in the 2015-16 season. Had he signed it in 2016 this year would be the first year. Notice how his signing bonuses still go years 1-3 but the salaries go years 2-4. When it becomes official that it slides again that will change to years 3-5, and actually lowers the cap hit once his contract actually starts. The first year lowered it almost 12 thousand.

This is why if you sign the late birthday guys early enough they can play in the AHL but have their contract still slide twice(1 CHL and 1 AHL year). If you don't sign them early enough it doesn't slide at all(CHL year isn't a contract year, 1st year is AHL year and it doesn't slide)

Not an official link to the CBA, but it explains exactly what that exert means

http://www.colliganhockey.com/nhl-cba-entry-level-contracts-slide/

If an 18 or 19-year-old* player signs an entry-level contract but doesn’t play in at least ten games in the first season of that contract, the terms** and number of years are automatically extended one year — effectively “sliding” the contract.

This automatic extension doesn’t apply for players who turn 20 between September 16 and December 31 in the year they sign their contract.

Second Slide: If an 18-year-old player (at the time of contract signing) has his contract slide and then doesn’t play in at least ten games in the second season either, his contract will slide again.

http://www.colliganhockey.com/nhl-cba-how-is-player-age-calculated/

Age at the time of signing a first contract is a critical factor when it comes to calculating eligibility for “sliding” the terms of an entry-level contract.

In this case, age is the player’s age on September 15 of the calendar year in which he signs the contract, regardless of his actual age on the date he actually signs the contract.

So Timashov who's birthday is October 1st, was 19 at the time of signing on November 23rd but officially his "ELC signing age" for NHL purposes is 18 because he signed his contract in 2015 and was 18 on September 15th, 2015.

Back to the first link, so 18 was his ELC signing age it can slide twice. The bolded portion of said exert is the part explaining the bolded exert in you post, "in the year they sign the contract", Timashov signed his in 2015, and he turned 19 that year. Had he signed in 2016 he wouldn't have been eligible for his contract to slide.

Finally some comparative examples.

Mantha, drafted 2013, late birthday meaning he was AHL eligible for the 2014-15 season and indeed did play in the AHl that year. Signed October 19th, 2013 when he was 19, but his ELC signing age is 18, ELC slide twice, including his 1st AHL year.

Identical situation with Pulock

https://www.capfriendly.com/players/ryan-pulock

Anthony DeAngelo is the best example. It's almost the exact same situation but he signed December 2nd, 2014 after being drafted in 2014. This is later in the year than Timashov signed, but his contract still slid twice, including his 1st AHL year at 20. So I'm using this as evidence that Timashov signing in late November wasn't too late for the 2nd year AHL slide because DeAngelo got it.

https://www.capfriendly.com/players/anthony-deangelo

This is like the 6th or 7th time I've had to explain this. Not sure why someone challenges it every single time I mention those 3 players that can have their contract slide with the Marlies. There's even a huge list of players who are eligible for contract slides from that very page on CapFriendly you're using but for some reason you didn't look at it. Timashov, Nielsen, and Dermott are all listed. Guys missing the first checkmark have already went over 10 NHL games and thus no longer eligible.

Great post.

Glad someone went to that effort after someone saying "back it up" without a complete understanding.

Pro hockey is hard. He's coming from the weakest junior league. 2015-16 runaway QMJHL leading scorer Conor Garland has just 2 assists in his first 11 AHL games. 5 of the QMJHL top 10 have turned pro this year. Combined they have a grand total 5 AHL goals to date. It's a big step up.

He's getting lots of shots, he looks involved with the play. He's barely turned 20. He was a 5th round pick. Give him time.

The first year of his contract was last year. He signed it November 23rd, 2015 so it officially started in the 2015-16 season. Had he signed it in 2016 this year would be the first year. Notice how his signing bonuses still go years 1-3 but the salaries go years 2-4. When it becomes official that it slides again that will change to years 3-5, and actually lowers the cap hit once his contract actually starts. The first year lowered it almost 12 thousand.

This is why if you sign the late birthday guys early enough they can play in the AHL but have their contract still slide twice(1 CHL and 1 AHL year). If you don't sign them early enough it doesn't slide at all(CHL year isn't a contract year, 1st year is AHL year and it doesn't slide)



So Timashov who's birthday is October 1st, was 19 at the time of signing on November 23rd but officially his "ELC signing age" for NHL purposes is 18 because he signed his contract in 2015 and was 18 on September 15th, 2015.

Back to the first link, so 18 was his ELC signing age it can slide twice. The bolded portion of said exert is the part explaining the bolded exert in you post, "in the year they sign the contract", Timashov signed his in 2015, and he turned 19 that year. Had he signed in 2016 he wouldn't have been eligible for his contract to slide.

Finally some comparative examples.

Mantha, drafted 2013, late birthday meaning he was AHL eligible for the 2014-15 season and indeed did play in the AHl that year. Signed October 19th, 2013 when he was 19, but his ELC signing age is 18, ELC slide twice, including his 1st AHL year.

Identical situation with Pulock

First: I apologise for deleting part of your post as it was very long (and extremely good).

Second: I am eating a massive crow pie as you were completely right and I was dead wrong in my argument. Hubris (arrogance) has caught me again.

Third: I see it as a good benefit to Toronto that Nielsen, Dermott, and Timashov can all have their ELC's slide through their first AHL year.

Thank you for gently teaching this old man something new today.

:handclap:

His post was great, but I appreciate someone who can humbly admit they were wrong and learned something just as much.

Patience with this kid... He's going to be lighting it u[p very soon, I feel..
Just like Andreas Johnson, they both are learning the new systems.. and getting
their defensive games in order, before trying to add back the offensive.. (imo..)

If Tish is good enough to be in the NHL, why worry about a ELC slide?

If the Leafs were so worried about players reaching RFA status early, maybe Marner should have been sent back to junior after nine games, or Nylander limited to nine NHL games last season

it was a sarcastic comment regarding him not producing calling him a bust(again sarcastically) so it being a negative it slides because it'll still be there for 2019-20

Timashov question for fans that actually get to see Marlies play.

How has Timashov looked? Lack of pts due to big step back in offence for Marlies as a whole? Does he get an PP time when he's in the lineup?

Timashov was a victim of the numbers game. With Laich, Michalek and Greening taking up roster spots to begin the year, Timashov was relegated to the 4th line when he saw any ice time at all. After the new year, when the veterans [Laich & Michalek] were relegated to Robidas Island, Timashov improved each month with more icetime. The AHL might be the roughest league in the world and at times he looked intimidated nevertheless once he realized he could slash/hack/cross check/ back, he found the ice began to open up. It's about respect. If a player knows he can crush you with no repercussions, they will do so. Once those players discover Timashov will spear/slash/hurt them back, they have second thoughts.
Timashov should have a break-out season in 2017/18 with the Marlies.

Good to hear and I want to agree with you.

When Kapanen was out and the Marlies had other injuries, Timashov had 14 points in 16 games.

I can see him breaking out next year as well.

It looked like Tima worked on his defensive game rather than his offensive game this season. I watched 20+ Marlie games.
