Is signing him at this point, a move to better control his destiny next season? (similar to what we did with Liljegren)

It would seem silly to tie up the contract spot at this point in the offseason if not, wouldn't it?
That must be it, because it puts us up to 47 contracts, with Nylander still to sign which will make 48. It wouldn't make sense to tie up to contract spot otherwise when you are that close to the limit, when you are not pressed to sign him.Pretty much.
That's not what cap friendly says.Sandin will only take up a contract spot if he plays in the NHL, as whether he is in the CHL, AHL, or SHL, he’s considered a junior player and his contract slides.
Because you pretty much start every thread regarding leafs news.What, why?
That's not what cap friendly says.
I know being junior age he will not burn a year of ELC, or be counted as a pro (like Liljegren), but his contract seems to count towards the 50 slots, according to their site.

I think someone else started one a week ago and I almost died of shock
Well it's much appreciated and you've made my Twitter account obsolete hahaIt technically counts right now. However once he’s assigned to wherever he plays this season, it will be removed as the contract slides to begin next year.
whenever LeafsPR tweet, I get a notification, and the new HF lets you just paste the tweet link into a post and it puts the tweet in automatically, so it takes like 30 seconds
I came across the CapFriendly tweet and saw no one had started a thread yet.
Odd that the Leafs haven’t announced it yet officially, but CapFriendly has full contract details.
Lol so did I, and now I know he retired....At first I thought it said something about Colby Rasmus.

Dubas said after the draft he expects him to play in the Soo. So, maybe that's why the ELC today then. Dubas wants to control.Good to hear, hopefully they figure out what his playing situation is soon. I've heard the kid wants to play for Rogle.
