So US$200k per year even with no NHL games will likely be higher than NIL.
Exactly. Thanks Taco.

Of course it’s whether both sides think he is ready. Aside from the guys with injury shortened seasons or clearly more development it’s beneficial too to get guys in under contracts and team control.

Lots of factors. If I’m the flames im pushing for reschney, wyttenbach, and 2026 1st to join the team if it makes sense. Even if it’s just the AHL. Assuming the pick is out of the NCAA/SHL. Flames will wanna sell tickets and excitement if not next year, the following year.
