The Sens? Really? They're a bigger train wreck than us :lol:

He was drafted by them in 2015.  

He was drafted as an overager - does the 4 year rule not apply in his case?

Originally drafted by the Senators in the fourth round (107th overall) in 2015, Christian Wolanin scored 12 goals and 23 assists in 40 games with North Dakota this season, giving him leverage in negotiations with the Senators.

If he hadn’t signed with the Senators before Aug. 15, he would have been eligible to become a free agent.

Here is what the CBA has to say on this subject.

If a Player drafted at age 20 or older is a bona fide college student at the time of his selection or becomes a bona fide college student while his drafting Club retains exclusive rights, then his drafting Club shall retain those rights until the later of: (a) the second June 1 following the date of his selection, or (b) thirty (30) days after NHL Central Registry receives notice that the Player is no longer a bona fide college student; provided that if the Player: (1) is in his fourth year of college and has commenced his fourth year of NCAA eligibility and the Player ceases to be a bona fide college student on or after January 1 of an academic year, or (2) is in his fourth year of college, is scheduled to graduate from college at the end of his fourth year and the Player ceases to be a bona fide college student on or after January 1 of an academic year, or (3) remains a bona fide college student through the graduation of his college class, then in the 20 ARTICLE 8 8.6-8.6 circumstances described in (1) or (2) or (3), the Club shall retain the exclusive right of negotiation for such Player's services through and including August 15 of that calendar year.
