Players like Agostino and maybe Arnold or Gaudreau(if both get signed after their season ends) who were drafted by the Flames..are they allowed to go to Abby or they have to play in the NHL the rest of the season? Is there a difference between College Free Agent signing rules and Drafted College players signing rules?

- Oesterles ELC only starts next season. Therefore he can go to the AHL if he signs an ATO
- Agostinos and van Brabants ELCs start this season. They can't go to the AHL because they weren't Flames picks and weren't signed prior to the NHL deadline
- Arnold and Gaudreau can go to the AHL because they were Flames picks
