I'm not sure if it really matters.

I believe the biggest difference between an ELC and an SPC is a standard contract can't contain performance bonuses, which this one doesn't appear to do anyway.

I took a quick skim of the CBA and there are a few other small things, like a player on an SPC can't be sent to the ECHL without consent and some other travel and rooming rules.

I don't think it will prevent him from joining the Wranglers this season on an ATO, but it might.

Mostly, I'm sure it just requires them to fill out the right form and re-filing it.
