Teams can't just "do" that ... it's a combination of an early birthday and the date of when you're signing the ELC. It's similar to Poirier and Sieloff - they turned 20 before Dec 31 in the second year after being drafted, so they were AHL eligible a year early and their ELC slided despite them playing in the AHL. Same with Shinkaruk.
