I'm still learning to accept that many drafted prospects aren't going to get contracts under this regime. They seem to recognize that handing out ELCs too readily causes logjams. They take chances on players with the idea that the player grows substantially post-draft. If the player doesn't progress, they move on and maybe sign an European free agent in the prospect's place. In the end, Aaltonen, Borgman, Rosen, Lindholm and Soshnikov are a better collection than Middleton, Mattinen, Walker, Vesey, Toninato, etc.
