Totally agree, its the rule that made Justin Schultz a UFA.
There is no risk in terms of signing the kid, its a 2 year deal.... Send him to AHL and hope he makes a good impression.
I bet very... very few people on this forum have actually seen him play.. is he a career AHLer or a 4th liner who knows....
