Either way, he probably will. Most do, it’s a huge gamble otherwise. Injuries, big drop off in play, etc. An ELC is not much of ask for a young guy. 3 years is nothing.

I intended it to read as that I think he will sign his ELC and if he looks like a player in the NHL the team will need to be aggressive in signing him to a long term extension kind of like what the Sabres have been doing with their young guys. Hope that he values the security of a long term deal over playing things out to free agency. You don't want these American players getting a whiff of free agency.
