Burning a year was worth it to me in order to get him to sign a deal. The whole Emelin situation from years back has scarred me for life about that stuff.

I meant to say ''if it burns a year it's worth it''He won't burn a year if he can't play this year. The start date will be set for next season in that case.
Or Korneyev. Will never know if he was overhyped or not.Burning a year was worth it to me in order to get him to sign a deal. The whole Emelin situation from years back has scarred me for life about that stuff.
Hard to really tell, he did end up having a 15+ seasons career in russia so the potential was there for sure.Or the Korneyev. Will never know if he was overhyped or not.
Although I'd love to see him play this year. I can't help but worry that throwing a 20 year old rookie whom hasn't played many games on north american ice against Crosby and Malkin for at least 3 straight games has the chance to absolutely destroy his confidence as well.The league better let him play this season in the play-in/offs.
He is not a random player we signed from the KHL like say TO with Lehtonen.
He is a player whose rights belonged to the Habs, one of their prospects. Just like the Gavrikov situation last season, Romanov should be eligible to play.
It would do wonders for his development!
I mean Habs have already been screwed by being added to this ridiculous 24 team playoff format, Romanov being declined to play this season would be a total joke!
I get what you're saying and normally I would follow your train of thought, however Romanov has been playing in the KHL with men for 2 seasons so I believe he would hold his own.Although I'd love to see him play this year. I can't help but worry that throwing a 20 year old rookie whom hasn't played many games on north american ice against Crosby and Malkin for at least 3 straight games has the chance to absolutely destroy his confidence as well.
Hopefully he pulls a Subban tho!
Would the Habs lose a year of his ELC?
Yes. If he plays one game this year, they will burn one year of his ELC.
Do we know if he can practice with the team even if not playoff eligible? or perhaps if they decide that players aren't eligible to play and there for his starting date would the moved to 2020-2021?

If a couple of games is going to destroy his confidenceWell Habs have been playing their D in the NHL without them showing any real tangible success in pro hockey for a while now. Results suggest perhaps it's a good idea to be concerned. See list of top 4 D:

I do believe that if he's not eligible to play, he can still be there to practice with the team.
One has to wonder about the possibilities of a late trade deadline, one in which the Habs use their 8th OV pick to strengthen the defence. A trade for 2013 8th OV 25yrs. old Rasmus Ristolainen(RHD), joining Drouin, Domi, Dauphin, Lehkonen, and G.Olafsson as Habs from that draft class.
