I dont think the ECL is a big deal. So what, he excels and we pay him sooner. We have lots of cap space and will likely have more once a couple vets get dealt. When this team is ready to compete (hopefully) we will likely have other players still on their ELC (Poirier, Klimchuck, Gaudreau). So If Monahan, Sven, Brodie etc. are getting higher salaries it still shouldnt get us in cap trouble.
