Albeit against popular belief, GMs work during the playoffsInteresting that such signings are going on during playoffs.

Just by virtue of signing he burns a year on his ELC?not true
his contract starts this year, or else he wouldn't be able to practice (potentially play) with the team
Just by virtue of signing he burns a year on his ELC?
For real though, couldn't they sign him to his ELC to begin next year instead? Seems odd that they'd sign him to one to begin this season while we're in the playoffs. Could have been a part of Anderson's negotiation though. The guy's a winner... and we need to win right now aha
Shero seems really easy when it comes to giving out ELC years, not sure if that's a good thing. They don't even have any AHL games left to play after today and he's probably not playing in the NHL playoffs. Although if they're that down on Bratt and Gibbons who knows
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.

Nice. Hope we can get Jeremy Davies signed this offseason too.
Anderson seems like the perfect guy to be the third wheel on Hall-Hischier line. Don't know if he's ready yet, but his skillset is compatible with the role.
Already been reported Davies is going back next year.
Wait so like.... is he playing tomorrow????
It's a concession to the player. He gets an RFA contract earlier meaning he gets more money earlier.
The team does it because if an NCAA prospect isn't happy they can hold out and go UFA after four years like Butcher and Kerfoot. NCAA players have all the leverage here.
