I'm fine with games played by the player. Not many NHL teams would mess with a prospect in that manner.
It also would suck huge for a team if a rookie got injured in game 8 and had to stay on the roster which took them over that 10 or 15 games played by the team forcing them to use the 1st ELC year. It is fine the way it is.
