By the rules, I think he should go to the first bidder as he has no NHL experience (really, no different then someone like Victor Fasth). Although, if CG wants to put 9.99/3yr offer for him then I'm all for that.
He wont really have much of a rating and cant be placed in the minors without going through waivers (based on age) so he has little immediate positive impact that would warrant a special case in my books.
