I mean I know it's a low salary, but committing three years to a guy who has yet to score an NHL point!!??! That seems like a bad deal. Also, with the bonus structure, it adds a lot of risk, potentially stealing money from future year's cap or having to set aside money to pay a player who may never live up to the expectations.
Honestly, I don't think ELC's make any sense. Teams should just wait until the player is 27-28 and are UFA guys with proven track records, that's the way to build a winner.
Hmmm... I think we should invent a sarcastic font option.
