So 9 games means his ELC starts this year. But there's another threshhold right? (think it was 37 games or somewhere around there). That's the one where this year would count towards his 7 year before UFA status? Guess we'll see if he hits that as well.
But I have no problems keeping Tkachuk with the big club. It's probably better for his development. I wonder if they'll loan him for the WJC.
