Hmmm...didn’t see this one coming. For sure thought he’d go un-signed.
He stood out at development cap last summer because of his physicality, and with the Moose losing 2 of their simple, physical D men (Nogier to a trade and Kovacevic likely becoming the 7th D for the Jets) there's a spot for him.
Unless he plays his overage year with his WHL team. Than it would be slide eligible
No, slide eligibility has nothing to do with playing the WHL or not. It's based on signing age. Bauer is not eligible for an ELC slide.

Okay didn't know that. I would let him play his overage year still in the WHL and eat up a year of his ELC just for development purposes alone.
