Flames certainly being a lot more stingy with ELC's lately it seems. First letting Falkovsky loose, and now this.
A lot better idea IMO than signing a guy like Keegan Kanzig to an ELC 6 months after you drafted him 67th overall, then have it slide for two seasons before he finally turns pro, only to have him play more ECHL games than AHL games....like seriously WTF was that?
More on topic, hopefully Mattsson, proves himself worthy, and the next contract he signs does end up being an NHL ELC.
