3 years is a little steep for a kid who has never played in the league. Maybe the Yzerplan is failing

That was fast. Is he showing signs in development camp that he could possibly make the team????
signing him now gives us two years to slide his ELC.
Exactly. Another bad move by that incompetent buffoon Yzerman. Danielson is a bust!3 years is a little steep for a kid who has never played in the league. Maybe the Yzerplan is failing

By signing a rookie who is 18 at the time the contract is executed, we can slide his ELC terms two times as long as he doesn’t play in ten NHL games in either season. This season Danielson can only play in the WHL or NHL. He could play nine games for us and then get sent back to the WHL.
The only thing I’m not sure about is if the second slide applies here because Danielson will have played four CHL seasons once this year ends, so next season he can play in the AHL. I don’t know if the second slide is applicable if a player is playing in the AHL but I assume it’s the case.

So for clarification here:
The benefit of signing him now is it gives us the option to play him in the NHL for under 10 games and not lose a year of his ELC, the "downside" is that he is being paid by DET at this point.
VS
Not signing him, he would be unable to play anywhere outside of the WHL for this season BUT we wouldn't have to pay him
Yes?

I’d say replace money with just having him as one of our 50 contracts and you are spot on.

I think it's what Yzerman does with high draft pick. If he wasn't confidant with him he whoud not draft him #9

CHL players has to be signed within 2 years after he was drafted, or the team loses the rights.
Europeans and college players within 4 years.
Danielson turns 20 in September 2024, he is good to go in AHL after upcoming season.

That I know, my question was more so about if it changed by the round they were drafted. I believe Russian players right go on forever as well.

I don't care if Chris (cheapskate-a-shadow-of-his-father) Illitch has to pay him lol.

As far as I know that is only a loophole for players going the college route.
Depends on a few factors such as where they played, age, and route they take. Danielson had one of the earliest sign-by dates of anyone in the draft, but we still had until 2025 iirc.
Edit: here is where you would see the dates on capfriendly:

Russian's and Swiss, i believe.
Draft round doesn't matter and ELC is 3-years unless player is X-years old, like in Hirose's case it was a 2-year. Too many rules to remember them all.

WHL this year and then top 6 in Grand Rapids next year would be my guess. I think that’s a good plan for him. Hopefully he gets traded to one of the better WHL teams for a deep playoff run.

Not to mention it may inflate his stats more and give us false hope.
I think his offensive ability is there but I hate getting my hopes up for prospects now. It is just a recipe for full-on unhappiness.
