That was my guess before a bunch of other players signed. What's their rush? Why is he different?

Leverage, I'm guessing. I think only some players have the leverage to sign an ELC that burns a year, I think Samburg is one of them. I don't know much about the other players that are signing, so it's hard to say if I'm right or not. But I'm guessing leverage, why take it away from yourself, even if it's only a little bit?
NHL announced that with the uncertainty of the season, any contract signed today cannot be for this season, can only be for next, so July 1 is the start date.

Could be, but I think at least some of those who have signed could have got the ELC burning signing.
Still not sweating it but I would like to see him signed and remove all doubt.
Could be that the team wants him to be able to play this year and both parties are onboard with waiting until a decision on this season has been made.

Because there may be no games left to play. Can't have a contract signed for games that don't happen.

That has never been a problem in the past. Teams have been able to sign NCAA players after they have been eliminated, or even after the SC has been awarded, but before July 1. They can't play any games and they can't eliminate a year of their ELC without playing, but they can still get paid a year's signing bonus.
Well there's no blueprint for this, they probably just don't want the headache of having to decide whether new contracts signed are going to be able to count for this year or not as far as the term goes? Dunno man.
Here you go @Mortimer Snerd...just to further frustrate you and complicate things:
Samberg could do this too.
Samberg could do this too.

I just don't see any need to have monkeyed with this situation at all. It is irrelevant to what else is happening. Players sign, but don't play until next year. Happens that way for some every year.

Makes sense for him. Wouldn't have been necessary if the league hadn't taken a totally needless step.Yes, Samberg could. Get on top of this Chevy. Git 'er done!

I would agree with exception that the rest of his UMD team has signed with their respective teams. The triple championship is all but dead. I know him and his family care about school but it may be time for Chevy to look at possible trades.
If Samberg won't sign before next season, I think the Jets should seriously consider trading him. He's much too valuable an asset to risk losing for nothing as a free agent.

I am not the guy you want to be wrong about.
Agreed. Enough of this posturing. Chevy needs to seriously get him signed or move him. At take it or leave it offer.
Maybe he’s an elc that would be valuable to Tampa as part of a deal for Cirelli.

Could be posturing.
The only reasons I'm thinking it hasn't happened:
1) they wanna be able to use him if this season is going to be played due to poor LHD depth
2) Economically, the team could struggle to pay out the signing bonus that he would probably receive due to absolutely zero cash flow while still paying salaries.
3) School is super important and legit just wants to get a degree finished up. I'm also not sure this is an angle the reporter is trying to hammer on so he wrote it that way. He could have asked "How many credit hours do you have left?" If asked, that's not an alarming thing. If mentioned right out of the blue, then.... Might be something to it.
3) Lastly, Samberg just doesn't wanna sign here. Keep in mind, he's friends with Adam Fox and saw first hand about a kid who attempted to control where he wanted to go and was successful.
Time will tell.

Why don't the Jets make some deals with local universities to help their college players get the fourth and final year of their degrees while playing for the moose or the Jets.
