WIthout me having to do any work, does this mean that if he signed before Feb 26 he would have been eligible to slide? I.e. this was a team tactic to reduce the elc and get a player to sign?

I think it means his contract begins 2018-19

Does this mean he will need to play one final season in the CHL?

Yeah, what I’m asking is did Jim screw this up by not signing him earlier, or does it make no difference, or is it a tactic (like signing Boeser for 9 games at the end of the year to burn one year of elc)?

Not sure sorry. I don't see a lot of screaming on twitter

Edler only . But no one has scored more points in a single season this decade Hank at 112 is the top points. He may need to stick to defend his title

Pretty impressive considering the talent in the league.

No, it looks like he will finish this year in CHL but likely no AHL playoffs and next year he can play AHL or go back to juniors

I am stoked on expansion talks. I think most people are.
It's great news imo.

how about Washington Husky purple and gold colors?

lol...I'd like to see a team in Seattle but the league has zero need to expand. Move one of ARZ, FLA, NYI or NJ or CAR there...no need for expansion when those teams are consistently bottom 5 in the league in attendance and can barely get 4000 asses in the seats some games.

Cap friendly is wrong, his contract doesn't count until July 1st.
Jokinen will provide much needed leadership on the farm

Expansion fee$

Bettman isn’t an idiot, there’s more money to be made expanding instead of relocating

$650,000,000 reasons for expansion.

Ya I know...doesn't make it correct though. I'm sure Bettman is a sharp lawyer and all but he has sacrificed a lot of the integrity of the game satisfying his 'core' of American ownership. Watering down the talent even more isn't what's required regardless of expansion cash. Moving those teams that can't draw should be the priority IMO but that's just me.

They should fold Arizona and then charge an explanation fee to buy a team in Quebec! They missed their chance when the NHL owned it.
Selling the team for 200m was a mistake. Should have folded it and allowed someone to buy an expansion team instead.
