It's likely so rare for a 25+ North American player to being signing his first NHL contract that this might be the first time it has happened since the entry-level contract was introduced.
Even a guy like Luke Philp, who played 4 years of University hockey after aging out of the WHL, was still on an ELC for his first contract.
