For purposes of an expansion draft, if a junior player's contract slides, it doesn't count as a year of pro status.
That is, the NHL thinks maybe kinda sorta could be possibly this is the rule that they might perhaps take a flyer on thinking about conceivably going with. At this point in time. Until other factors rise, or the situation changes, or new events occur, or you know, they just change their mind.
