Goalie Jason Kasdorf Signs ELC with Sabres

One year ELC and then he is a RFA based on his age(23). 667k per Harrington and Cap Friendly

 

Figure he goes to Rochester.

 

I think the automatic RFA age for goalies was 26.  Don't know why I think this, but I do.

 

Get him to Roch immediately and get him some starts!

I am wrong.  I was thinking of a different provision dealing with becoming a UFA.

Group 2 Players and Free Agents.

(i)

(A)

Any Player who meets the qualifications set forth in the following

chart and: (1) is not a Group 1 Player or a Group 4 Player, and (2) is not

an Unrestricted Free Agent, shall be deemed to be a "Group 2 Player" and

shall, at the expiration of his SPC, become a Restricted Free Agent. Any

such Player shall be completely free to negotiate and sign an SPC with any

Club, and any Club shall be completely free to negotiate and sign an SPC

with any such Player, subject to the provisions set forth in this Section. As

used in this Section 10.2, "age," including "First SPC Signing Age" means

a Player's age on September 15 of the calendar year in which he signs an

SPC regardless of his actual age on the date he signs such SPC.

First SPC Signing Age  Eligible for Group 2 Free Agency

18 - 21......3 years professional experience

22 - 23......2 years professional experience

24 or older.........1 year professional experience

For the purposes of this Section 10.2(a), a Player aged 18 or 19 earns a

year of professional experience by playing ten (10) or more NHL Games

in a given NHL Season, and a Player aged 20 or older (or who turns 20

between September 16 and December 31 of the year in which he signs his

first SPC) earns a year of professional experience by playing ten (10) or

more Professional Games under an SPC in a given League Year.

 

If I'm not mistaken, he is considered 24 years old because he will be by Sept. 1 ( I think ) and needs 1 year before he is an RFA.

So Kasdorf apparently signed a one-year deal that only counts for the remainder of this season.

He is reporting to Buffalo, not Rochester and will be an RFA this summer?

 

Anyone with CBA expertise care to explain what the benefits of that are for both sides?

Maybe Lehner needs to rest his ankle more? Put him on IR and see what the kid can do?

Didn't he have a slight groin injury late in the season, if so will he rehab first??

Edited and found the tweet

 

RPI coach Seth Appert said G Jason Kasdorf didn't play because of groin injury. Hurt during yesterday's morning skate but played Game 1.

He signs this now and gets the signing bonus and a few large paydays before summer

All teams use this to get them to sign.

 

But they usually blow the first year of a two- or three-year deal on it  not the only year of a one-year deal.

I get the benefit to Kasdorf is that he finishes his ELC in record time. And I assume the plan is to re-sign him.

But I am not sure why he is better off doing it this way rather the way McCabe and Ruhwedel did it.

And I am curious if there are any benefits to the Sabres.

Did McCabe and Rudy get a different deal coming out of college?  I recall Rudy getting time with the big team as part of his deal out of NCAA.

They each got to start with the Sabres, but Rudy signed a two-year deal and McCabe a three-year deal.

It's the fact that Kasdorf is a free agent in a few months that is odd.
