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.

These guys come in and it’s always a nice polite one. You serve them because you dont want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.

And THEY bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh, this is a Nazi bar now. And its too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.
