Yeah because he'll be 25 with fewer than 80 career games played, he'll be a Group 6 UFA. Same situation as how Michael Bunting left the Coyotes to sign with Toronto.

The player is 25 years or older (as of June 30th of the calendar year the contract is expiring).
The player has completed 3 or more professional seasons - qualified by 11 or more professional games (for an 18/19 year old player), or 1 or more professional games (for a player aged 20 or older). This can include NHL, minor league, and European professional league seasons played while under an SPC.
The player has played less than 80 NHL games, or 28 NHL games of 30 minutes or greater for a goaltender.
