Ristolainen - it says he has a contract until 2014/15
Lindholm - it says he has a contract until 2013/14
Can these come over and play in the NHL next year (if ready), or do they have to play out their contracts?

I believe their leagues in Sweden & Finland have transfer agreements with the NHL, so they can come over right away.
I really like the look of Lindholm, but how far off do they reckon he is from being NHL ready?
