Yeah, I got most of that. It's the "contract for next season" that can confuse people. College players don't do that, like we've seen CHL guys. College guys sign their entry level deal, it's not specified which year it will start. Agostino didn't sign a contract for "this year" he signed his ELC. As soon as he played a game for the Flames, it kicked it. It wasn't a specified "2013-2014" or "2014-2015" contract. Atleast I don't think.
I'd prefer if he just signed with the Flames and finished the season in the NHL though to be honest. I'm not worried about burning a year for a handful of games, it's not like he'll be a star in two years and have a crazy contract and we'd wish we still had one more.
