With Boston College's recent loss in the Frozen Four, focus shifts to Gabe Perreault's entry level contract (ELC) status. Although it's certain he will sign with the Rangers, discussions revolve around the timing and implications of starting his contract this season. The risk of burning a full year of the ELC for limited gameplay raises questions about long-term consequences, especially when considering the Rangers' past experiences with top prospects. Ultimately, the decision intertwines practicality and optics, reflecting the organization's efforts to rebuild relationships with rising stars.

Burning a year on Gabe Perreault's ELC is about optics too, considering past top picks have had very public falling outs with the Rangers.
