Caniners77 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Can someone help me with the rules on who can go to Utica and who can't? From last years draft and this years draft who is eligible? It looks like there are a couple of kids turning 19 from this draft who could slot in ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Thread will likely get locked or moved. I'll answer quickly. The CHL and NHL have a transfer agreement. If a player under 20 years of age on a CHL team, who's rights are owned by an NHL team fails to make said NHL club, they are to report back to the CHL. There is an exception with overagers (or players that will be 21 by season's end) that they can be assigned to the AHL affiliate assuming they make that club. Recent Canuck examples: Last year Cederholm and Stewart were AHL eligible, though neither made that squad. In the case of Stewart, he reported back to Junior for an overage season. Eligible for this condition next year: Abols (2016 7th round) Neill (2015 5th round) Contrary to what most believe around here, Juolevi IS NOT AHL eligible next season, as his European rights were not loaned to the CHL. For him, it's NHL/CHL or overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 In other words, all the CHL drafted players (even at 19) will have one more year of eligibility in junior. There's the option around Juolevi, but don't expect to see anyone else in Utica this year (or even him probably). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For him, it's NHL/CHL or overseas. To add to the above. AHL age is defined differently than draft/ELC age. For ELC - it's the age on 15 September while for the AHL eligibility it's the age reached in the year. Reason why Shinkaruk was able to play in the AHL in his draft + 1. He is born in October so for ELC purposes he was age 19 but for the AHL he was 20. His contract was able to slide that year as he did not play 10 NHL games and he will be an RFA only in summer 2018. Gaunce who started in the AHL at the same time as him was in his draft + 2, and unlike Shinkaruk will be RFA in summer 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
