The NHL-CHL agreement mandates that players drafted from the CHL must complete their entire major junior eligibility before being permitted to play full time in the AHL or any professional league other than the NHL. Maxime Lagace Jersey . TSN.ca proposed Wednesday that fourth-year major junior players selected in the first round of the NHL draft be eligible to play in the AHL – if in the view of their NHL teams they have effectively outgrown the CHL but are not yet ready for the NHL. Our story suggested two criteria for early AHL eligibility: 1. Players must have been selected in the first round of the NHL draft and have played three full seasons in the CHL. 2. Players must pass a tryout period – say 9 games in the AHL to mirror the NHL 9-game tryout period - to prove they have effectively outgrown the CHL. This is our logic: 1. Only NHL-rated elite players (e.g. first rounders) would be included to guard against a new system cutting too deeply into the CHL talent pool. 2. CHL teams should consider three full seasons fair return on their investments. Consider that NHL players are technically free agents after going through the three-year entry level system. The nine CHLers - including current NHLers Bo Horvat (Vancouver), Curtis Lazar (Ottawa) and Sam Reinhart (Buffalo) - who would be candidates to play in the AHL this season are: Max Domi (Arizona) Sam Morin (Philadelphia) Josh Morrissey (Winnipeg) Darnell Nurse (Edmonton) Nick Ritchie (Anaheim) Shea Theodore (Anaheim) This is what We Said. Here is what You Said: TWITTER: Daniel Deschenes @DDeschenesFC - every players right development path is different, whether it be CHL or NCAA and now AHL vs CHL. Something needs to change Dan Weiss @DanWeissPBP - If a player can gain exceptional status to play in the CHL as a 15-year-old they should be able to play in the AHL at 18/19. Dan Weiss @DanWeissPBP - Plus those who say the CHL would be devastated is exaggerating. Those are hockey markets regardless of the talent. Matt Moran @MattyMo26 - NHL teams should have a designated number of cards to allow a player to play in the AHL early w/ fee to compensate CHL team. Matt Moran @MattyMo26 - @CraigJButton can also simplify WJC discussion with elite players - the John Carlson effect - played in Hershey in 2010, led USA to WJC gold Paul Anca @PAnca_96 - Must have played one CHL season after being drafted, draft selection shouldnt be part of eligibility & burns one year of ELC. Ryan Wagman @RAWagman - As the hit to CHL teams is financial, perhaps a clause allowing NHL teams to purchase player rights early. FACEBOOK: Carson McConnell - If that 19yr old (Currently 1995) is fractions to becoming NHL ready and needs more than a conditioning stint in the AHL (ie. Bo Horvat), then I agree - but not if the guy could use the minutes in the CHL. TSN.CA: Ben Huigenbos - agreed, and this change would actually add to the incentive to play CHL over NCAA perhaps, which would be a win for CHL. I love it and hope they can make agreement with the CHL. Uruguay Syd - An excellent plan, guys. Horvat has yet to play an NHL regular season game, and could very well take until late November to do so. Is 3rd or 4th line center, fighting for time with natural and more experienced centers, Richardson, Vey, and Matthias, giving him a better chance to develop than playing full-time center in the AHL? Probably no. However, except for this conditioning stint, it is not an option. Sending him back to junior in November, a man among boys, will be a big step back. T.J. Tynan Jersey . So far, so good: Gonzalez has allowed one run through 12 innings this season. His second start came Tuesday night, when he gave up only three singles over six innings to lead the Nationals to a 5-0 victory over the Miami Marlins. Brayden McNabb Jersey . -- One shot came out of bottom of a cactus, the other from the base of a desert bush with rocks scattered around it. http://www.goldenknightsnhlshop.com/jake-bischoff-golden-knights-jersey-c-25/ . Philbin said Thursday he wants players to treat one another with civility and he wont tolerate anything less. In taking questions for the first time since Ted Wells released his report into the bullying scandal that rocked the league, Philbin made it clear things would be cleaned up.With injuries, lineup changes and other roster moves affecting playing time, it is important to keep your fantasy lineup up-to-date. Here are some under-the-radar players to take a look at to fill in the final spots on your team, as well as some who no longer warrant ownership. Take a look at… Chris Kaman (C – Por) – 11.9% owned: Despite putting up respectable numbers as a backup, Kaman will suddenly be thrust into the starting lineup after centre Robin Lopez reportedly fractured his hand and could be out for up to a month. He becomes a must-own player on a very good Portland team, who sit atop the Northwest Division with a 19-6 record. The veteran should see upticks in his averages with Lopez out. CJ Watson (PG – Ind) – 7.1% owned: Since making his season debut just over two weeks ago, Watson has steadily inserted himself into the Pacers rotation. He was named a starter three games ago and has put up double digit points in all of those contests. Those looking for a starting point guard who may still be available on the wire should take a look at snagging Watson. He provides a solid shooting percentage and grabs a few steals to go along with the assists. Shabazz Muhammad (SF – Min) – 11.8% owned: Aside from a dud against Philadelphia, Muhammad has been able to consistently put up double digits coming off the bench for the Timberwolves. This includes tying his career-high 28 points in Sundays game against the Lakers. While he wont provide much else aside from scoring and a few rebounds, Muhammad seems to have been able to find his niche in the rotation, at least until Kevin Martin returns from a fractured wrist. Hes also been shooting a blistering 50.2% this season. Shawne Williams (SF/PF – Mia) – 5.4% owned: The journeyman emerged earlier in the season as a starter for the Heat, providing three-pointers and rebounds as a stretch power forward. With news coming out of Miami of Josh McRoberts possible season-ending surgery and Chris Boshs suddenly concerning calf strain, Williams is worth another shot in fantasy leagues as Miammis offence, especially up front, is quickly depleted. Malcolm Subban Jersey. Notables: Patrick Patterson (PF – Tor), Mareese Speights (PF/C – GSW), Donatas Montejunas (PF – Hou) Maybe say goodbye to… Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (SG – Det) – 9.7 % owned: Already shooting a paltry 38% from the field, Caldwell-Pope isnt doing much better from the free throw line either (67%). His scoring inconsistencies could be excused before, but now that the Pistons prized free-agent signing Jodie Meeks has returned to the team, Caldwell-Popes tenure in the starting lineup should be coming to a close. Meeks has averaged 12.7 points in his three games and has been chipping away at the second year mans minutes. Ed Davis (PF/C – LAL) – 11.6% owned: Despite starting the Lakers last six games, Davis has averaged under six rebounds and points per game and has frequently sat in favour of ex-starter Carlos Boozer. He showed some early season promise as a big man off the bench for Los Angeles, but that has disappeared. To top it off, Davis scored zero points in 23 minutes in Mondays loss to Indiana. Greivis Vasquez (PG – Tor) – 7.9% owned: Expected to fill in on offence after DeMar DeRozans injury, Vasquez was swapped out of the starting lineup in Dwane Caseys attempt for a more defensive presence. Lou Williams has already taken a lot of Vasquezs minutes this season, and rightfully so. The Venezuelan has struggled shooting the ball all season, especially over the last five games (33%). Owners who were expecting three-pointers from him should also be disappointed. Brandan Wright (PF/C – Dal) – 14.8% owned: Even though his minutes have remained relatively consistent, Wright has seen his numbers drop across the board. He has failed to score in double digits in his last ten contests. While Wright still can provide some blocks and steals, even those have disappeared on some nights. He is no longer worth a spot in a fantasy lineup as a backup big.
