That's correct, though. Comtois was an underager who didn't play enough games for it to count as a pro season. Same with this Finnish guy(not spelling that till I need to). That was the mistake I made at first, seeing that he played pro but not checking the age.
Comtois played 10 games, which is enough to prevent an ELC slide via assignment to juniors (usually kids get sent back at the 9 game mark for this reason). Therefore a year was burned from Comtois' ELC, effectively making it a pro season, unless there's something that I'm completely missing here. How would it be possible to be a second year pro in 2021, while being done with a 3-year ELC..?
Comtois didn't play enough games to gain early arbitration eligibility though.
