But don't see how a guy signs an ATO (amateur tryout agreement/contract) when he has a professional contract. Clearly must be missing something if that happens. But then again I guess it would be governed by a completely different CBA since we are talking about AHL contracts. What does wind up happening with a lot of the college signings is that they get a deal that starts the following year but then they get immediate AHL or ECHL time on an ATO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my younger one was in 1st or 2nd grade, they had an assignment to say what they did to help out around the house. His answer was "get daddy beers." He didn't lie. ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams will do it all the time, they give the player their ELC after the college/junior season, but it doesn't start until the following year. Then they play on an ATO, unless more recent CBA changes have eliminated that. Google's not being my friend right now, but I've got a story up right now about how Jack Campbell played with the Stars' minor league team on an ATO in 2012 but he had initially signed his ELC in 2010. The only limitation of the ATO is that it expires after a specific number of games. It looks like the college players that get a game or 2 in the NHL and then go to the AHL for the playoffs actually sign 2 different ATO's. They sign 1 with the NHL club and then after their taste of the NHL they go and sign with the AHL squad and can play in the playoffs for the farm team. That's what Harvard's goalie Mitchell Gibson is doing with the Caps. It didn't make sense that a guy on an ELC could play in the AHL playoffs if he wasn't on the AHL roster on trade down day. And apparently they can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
