[thepuckmonster]

I think we lost his draft thread in the transfer. Anyhow, he signed his ELC today as per his and the Canucks social media.

[Shattered Dreams]

Woo! I think he makes Team Canada at the World Juniors this year.

Before Lind? Is this our first 2017 draft signee?

 

[Melvin]

Weird timing. Why?

 

[The Iron Goalie]

Before Lind? Is this our first 2017 draft signee?

If both are signed....does it really matter who was signed first? Also, in the Hockey Prospects Radio interview I believe Benning said Gadjovich was going to sign + Lind would be signed in the off season.

You're right... Although I'm a bit confused as to why we signed Gadjovich now...

Does his contract slide?

I believe so yes.

 

[timw33]

I believe so yes.

100% it slides. Not playing in the NHL and is 18 or 19 years old.

Maybe management are trying to get anything to deflect the boring product on the ice so far this year.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

If only he were older and the Sedins were younger...

 

[FroshaugFan2]

I believe by signing him this year his contract will be eligible to slide next season as well, even though he'll be playing in the AHL.

If they waited until next year to sign him to a contract then his 2018-19 season wouldn't slide.

Kole Lind should be signed his year as well. Pettersson too if they want him in the AHL next season.

From Article 9.1 (d)

(i) In the event that an 18 year old or 19 year old Player signs an SPC with a Club but does not play at least ten (10) NHL Games in the first season under that SPC, the term of his SPC and his number of years in the Entry Level System shall be extended for a period of one (1) year, except that this automatic extension will not apply to a Player who is 19 according to Section 9.2 by virtue of turning 20 between September 16 and December 31 in the year in which he first signs an SPC. Unless a Player and Club expressly agree to the contrary, in the event a Player's SPC is extended an additional year in accordance with this subsection, all terms of the SPC, with the exception of Signing Bonuses, but including Paragraph 1 Salary,
games played bonuses and Exhibit 5 bonuses, shall be extended; provided, however, that the Player's Paragraph 1 Salary shall be extended in all circumstances.

(ii) In the event that a Player signs his first SPC at age 18 and has had his SPC extended pursuant to Subsection (i), and such Player does not play at least ten (10) NHL Games in the second season under that SPC, then the term of his SPC and his number of years in the Entry Level System shall be extended for one (1) additional year. Unless a Player and Club expressly agree to the contrary, in the event a Player's SPC is extended an additional year in accordance with this Subsection, all terms of the SPC, with the
exception of Signing Bonuses, but including Paragraph 1 Salary, games played bonuses and Exhibit 5 bonuses, shall be extended; provided, however, that the Player's Paragraph 1 Salary shall be extended in all
circumstances.

Gadjovich is still considered 18 this year, and thus eligible to have his contract slide for two years. But because he turns 20 next year his contract wouldn't slide if he was signed in 2018.

This is why Shinkaruk's contract slide his first season in the AHL, but Dahlen's contact will not this season. Shinkaruk signed his ELC in his draft year, so he was considered 18 and his contract was slide eligible to two years. Dahlen wasn't signed until the year after his draft, and turned 20 that year, so his contract isn't slide eligible.

 

[Cogburn]

Too much, too long, he's just taking a roster spot away from one of our unsigned rookies. When will Benning get it?

Sarcasm aside, I like him, and I'm hoping for big things from him, Lind and Pettersson in the coming seasons.

 

[Jyrki21]

If only he were older and the Sedins were younger...

Well, he does look about 29, so there's that.

 

[Seatoo]

Do we know how much the elc was for?

 

[ItalianCanuck1]

 

[thepuckmonster]

The real heavy question here is did he buy his mom that big bouquet of flowers and if so what type

 

[F A N]

Do we know how much the elc was for?

We do. It's pretty standard.

 

[Dump Itch]

Terrible signing. Has done absolutey nothing and received a ELC. The next Mckenzie

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Lame. Post count fodder.

 

[VanJack]

Just have a good feeling about this pick....obviously needs to pick up a step, but down low he's already got a nose for the net and is deft at tipping the puck and tracking down rebounds.....eligible for the AHL next year and a virtual automatic for the Comets.

 

[denkiteki]

Only thing surprising about this is he got signed before Lind. Both should be signed by the start of next season and start next season in the AHL (while Pettersson might stay oversea longer depending on how the team feels about his development).

What do most junior signings “do” before they get their ELC?

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

I was disappointed to see he was late scratched in favor of Owen Tippett tonight vs Russia. Too bad.

We could have used him. The team missed his presence A LOT.
