Only during the off-season
Answer
Yes, NHL teams can lend contracted players to ECHL teams for development purposes. This is often done with younger players who are still developing their skills and need more ice time than they would get in the NHL. The ECHL is a lower-level professional league than the NHL, so it provides a good opportunity for young players to get experience and improve their game.
