Should They Stay or Should They Go…
The clock is ticking for a few rookies. It is getting dangerously close to the time for NHL teams to make a decision on whether their prized teenagers should stay in the NHL or be returned to their junior teams without burning a year off their cap-friendly entry-level contacts. Junior-eligible rookies can play up to nine games before activating the first year of their entry-level contract on the 10th.
