Thought they could if team is willing to burn first year of ELC?
I wonder how "emergency loans" work in cases like this?

Yeah, not having most of your high draft picks is not ideal, and Rutherford acknowledged that.This goes without saying, but it's good to be adding to the prospect pool like this when we barely have any draft picks.
At the very least this helps make up for not having a 2nd rounder (and is older/more developed than anyone we'd be drafting).

I think it's both, no?Isn't this just for when trading for players?
Maybe it's because they owned his rights?Yeah, about this because I thought something similar. Makar started his NHL career in the playoffs and signed his ELC on April 14th 2019 and, iirc, the Preds wanted to add Vesey fort the playoffs a few years back. Maybe a draft pick is different but idk.
4. LW Drew O’Connor - Sophomore, Dartmouth
6-foot-3, 200 pounds
Age: 21
Stats: 29 GP, 21 goals, 11 assists, 32 points
The ECAC’s Co-Player of the Year has sprouted into a can’t-miss find. O’Connor was just 5-foot-8 at age 18, a big reason he wasn’t on NHL radars in his draft year, but has grown to 6-foot-3 while playing for the appropriately named for the Big Green. NHL teams have flocked to watch O’Connor, who they see as a legitimate NHL power forward prospect with a nose for the net. His 38 goals (in 68 games) are the third most in the country over the last two seasons – with a 16 per cent shooting percentage this season – but his overall game has grown as much as his body. There is definitely no shortage of NHL interest in O’Connor, but there is no guarantee the sophomore will decide to leave school early.
Number 4 on TSN's list of undrafted NCAA free agents.

So Reilly would be eligible to play.Bogo had to sign before the TDL to be eligible for the playoffs so Id imagine its the same case here. Makar and Kreider started in the playoffs because their teams already had their rights prior to the TDL.
But can he pass the puck 30 times on the power play?
I think Boston was hot after him also, he was at their Rookie camp this past summer.
