If your goal is cap savings and extending his ELC as long as possible, it may actually work against the team in that regard.
Quinn Hughes signed a 6 x 7.85 contract after putting up 41 points in 56 games with -24 in his D+3 season. The following season he had 68 points in 76 games and was +10. What would his contract look like after that season? Now his contract is a massive discount for the Canucks during their supposed window (lol).
Let the players play wherever is best for the team and the development of the player. Lock up your young players for as long as possible, as quick as possible, for as cheap as possible.
