Pretty straight-forward though - don't give him a guarantee (doubt any team will and the Flames afford him as much opportunity as any team does).
Max ELC is nothing - basically free - to acquire another good prospect, especially at our thinnest position.
No harm in trying, if he busts he busts - most do.
