But that's the ruling for NA junior players. The 10 games is the 9-game tryout we're familiar with. Hagg is not a NA junior.

He finished up in North America last season... That doesn't count?

So, does that mean Laughton is going to burn a year of his EL contract regardless of where he plays this coming season?

Yep. The only slide eligible guys, under contract currently, are Morin and Hagg.

Doesn't matter, according to capgeek. Any ELC under age 20 is eligible to slide.

Yes. His ELC kicks in this year.

Cool beans. So his performance is what matters this coming season. I like it.

Hampus Lindholm played 44 games in the AHL in 12-13 and his contract slid.

Okay. How about Simmonds?
- jmatchett383

Yeah, he can slide.

Stupid CBA...

So, Robert Hagg could play a full AHL season and not make any money?

If I wasn't so lazy, I'd enroll in law school just to understand the CBA...

No, he'll get paid, but the contract term basically extends a year

He will make $70,000 if he plays in the AHL all season long.

Now Jsaq's gotta shoot off another tweet... at this rate, CapGeek is going to block him.

that makes no sense but seems like it works in the Flyers favor so

Stupid CBA...

Yeah!

- Jsaquella

That just seems wrong. If they go back to juniors a la Morin, it makes sense since he's not playing for a Flyers' affiliate. However, Hagg is getting paid by the Flyers, yet he isn't listed as having played for them. I understand it, it just seems wrong.

Going to? I had to use my alternate twitter handle, @Egon_Spengler

Oh sure, but it's really just keeping them from RFA for a single season or two at most.

Yeah, it does. I wish it was as simple as sign the guy, bring him to the AHL and rock and roll. I'd love to have a CBA that is simple and clear cut. It sucks that fans have to know and worry about how much cash a guy makes.

Sounds like the Preds are gonna sign Derek Roy.

Well, it could be worse. We could be dealing with slide rules based on total minutes TOI.

Yeah, i get the idea behind the slide rule, but it seems pretty easy to abuse.

I don't think it would be fair for teams have a 18 or 19 year old play in the AHL and have that get them a year closer to being a RFA.

And it's not that complicated. If the young player plays 9 or less NHL games then his ELC slides till the next year.
