No, he would need to play 10 NHL regular season and/or playoff games for that to happen.
An example of this is Sam Bennett in 2015. He made his Flames debut late in the season (last game iirc?) and then played enough playoff games to burn the first year of his ELC. The topic was hotly debated on CP and in the hockey media at the time, Hartley and Treliving were each asked about resting Bennett in the playoffs in order to let his contract slide.
