True, but those slots don't become open until July 1 meaning that they don't offer the prospect of 9+ NHL games (and a burnt year on the ELC) this year that currently open slots offer. Three is plenty enough though since it'd be pretty difficult for a team to sign more then three college free agents that are good enough to command a pre-July 1 contract.
