The bottom line is that I would probably think that this is probably not such a "class" operation and I would have a lot less loyalty to the organization come contract / UFA time.

Fist of all, I wasn't arguing for sending him down, just listing some facts
Second, I agree that trying to save a year of the ELC could actually backfire by costing them more in the long run.
However, I don't agree with the bold. It would be complete incompetence to simply not worry about contracts until the time came that they reared their heads.
