- Is he eligible for Calder (unlikely but curious)?
Any other notes from the radio interview?

I know these have been answered, but they have all just been yes answers, thought I would share why they are all yes
- Yes, it is an ELC. But not that is not why it is 925k. That is the ELC max but according the the flames.nhl.com piece his salaries are actually 775k in the NHL and 70k in the AHL, so 150k of his contact are bonuses of some sort, so they will not count towards the cap floor.
- Yes, since it is an ELC it is a 2-way deal. All ELCs are 2-way contracts as per the CBA.
- Yes, he is only 24, he will not reach UFA status until he is 27.
- Yes, he is only 24 and players are eligible for the Calder trophy up until the season in which they turn 27 (I think, it could be 26 though)
