It's based on the player's age on September 15 in the calendar year in which he signed the contract. So, if he signs in 2016 (whether it starts in 2015-16 or 2016-17), he'll be considered 22 and it will be a two-year contract.
That might be one reason to sign him now. If they wait, they won't be getting any extra entry-level or RFA years out of it.
