I assume you're talking about him playing 9 games without burning a year of his ELC, there is no 9 game contract.
He already signed his ELC, so yes, they could have him play up to 9 games without burning a year of his ELC, but it's not likely that it happens.
Players like him, Robertson, etc need top 6 time. Which is why it was stupid to have Robertson start the season on the 4th line with the scrub brigade..... Getting off track.
There's not any top 6 positions really up for grabs next year
Robertson-Seguin-Radulov
Benn-Hintz-Pavelski
should compromise our top 6 (in some order). So there's basically no chance barring injuries that it happens. Even with injuries, the team has shown in the past they'll play a 40yr career AHL over calling up a promising kid who is doing well in the AHL, not that Bourque will be in the AHL, so it's moot anyway
