Did they say that, okay, he's on his first contract, so he re-enters the draft I guess. Must be an age + contract status proviso. Intriguing.

The Staals have been 3/3 in the NHL so far. I'd risk a 5th rounder on those odds.

Sure, the risk/reward is huge (just don't count on it)

There's a time frame in place to sign a player after you draft him. It's something like 2 or 3 years. If you draft a guy and don't sign him after that point, he re-enters the draft. A team can't hold a player hostage if they don't sign him.

Technically, I'm pretty sure teams not in the playoffs can trade to their heart's content, regardless of what kind of player (i.e., NHLer, AHLer, etc.) might be involved.

Hmmm. That doesn't seem fair.
