@MtlfanSakic @PuckPedia I wasn’t disagreeing with PP, was providing context for why Bear is eligible for a slide by signing now versus signing in 2026.
The #LGRW signed '25 #13 pick Carter Bear to 3 year ELC
NHL 877.5K
Signing Bonus 97.5K
"A" Perf Bonus 500K
Cap Hit 975K, AAV 1.475M
Because of Nov bday, by signing now contract can potentially slide twice & not start until 27-28. If he waited to sign in '26, contract could only start in 26-27.
