That's not true. Your contract slides with under
10 NHL games if you qualify for your contract to slide. Which is based on age, and with the AHL age requirements and CHL players it's a rarity.
Otherwise, yes, all contracts start and end based on the year they signed. Still, Hunter Smith would have been an RFA if the Flames qualified him, they didn't because he's an ECHL player. So not sure what you're getting at?
