Congrats to Stefan Legein for signing a 3 year entry level deal on Tuesday with Columbus. Nice to see one of our boys being recognized!

Here's the article on the Blue Jackets website:

This is great news. Hopefully the IceDogs will really promote stuff like this so people understand how close to the NHL these kids really are.

Does anyone know exactly what this means. Obviously he is still with the IceDogs this year. Does it mean that he will be unable to come back to the IceDogs as an OA player next year? Do the Blue Jackets start paying him now while he is with the IceDogs?
