Except he signed at 19 but didn't play pro as a 19 year old, which gives him 4 years. I'm just not sure if the 4 years start from 11-12 (which would end the exemption in 14-15) or from when he turned pro in 12-13 (which would end the exemption after 15-16).
EDIT: From the waiver exemption part of the CBA (Article 13.4):

Ferland's first pro game was in 12-13 with Abbotsford.
