Future Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Probably a slim chance, but would be nice to see him get a shot in the A this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 He's not eligible for the AHL. 19 years old and birthday after December 31st. And he definitely needs another year of juniors at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, well, I said slim chance lol Forgot about the age rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMinutesForNothing Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 He is eligible because he's European, unless the rule has changed. Anisimov went to the AHL a year early based on this rule. Doesn't mean that this kid will, just saying he technically could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew a Penalty Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 He is eligible because he's European, unless the rule has changed. Anisimov went to the AHL a year early based on this rule. Doesn't mean that this kid will, just saying he technically could. It has nothing to do with being European or not. It's a matter of where you were pre-NHL draft. Zborovskiy was already playing in the WHL before he was drafted into the NHL. That's the case for any player out of the CHL regardless of where you're born. An American player that was drafted out of the USHL for instance, plays a season in the CHL, but can play in the AHL at 19. ie. Stefan Matteau if we want to use an American example.

Cash or Czech Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 What Drew said. For instance Matthews was drafted out of the Swiss league so he could go to the AHL if needed. Similarly Mikko Rantanen could play in the AHL because he was drafted out of Finland. Ivan Provorov however could not because he was drafted out of Canadian Juniors.

Morphinity 2.0 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 This may be a stupid question, but if this kid can't play in the AHL and is unlikely to play in the NHL this season, why did they sign him to an ELC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he's a good player so might as well get it out of the way while you can. Contract doesn't kick in until he turns pro so this year won't count towards the three years.

I think, eventually, a lot more players are going to go this route and junior leagues are going to have to adjust if they want to keep top talent.

Puck Head Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I think' date=' eventually, a lot more players are going to go this route and junior leagues are going to have to adjust if they want to keep top talent.[/quote'] Agreed. The USHL has closed a significant gap on major Jr hockey in regards to development. Players can play at age 16 and 17 Become NHL draft selections And then proceed to NHL NCAA AHL Or even to Major JR hockey without abiding to transfer rules. JT Miller is a good example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 This may be a stupid question, but if this kid can't play in the AHL and is unlikely to play in the NHL this season, why did they sign him to an ELC? His contract slides. Doesn't count against the 50-contract limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
