My questions is this: A 20yo player, who obviously would be an overager on a CHL team, is currently at an AHL camp on a free agent, not drafted, try out basis: could this player, if he doesn't make the AHL team, be signed to a contract of some sort and then assigned to an ECHL affliate? The player attended the NHL parent team rookie camp over the summer, and that earned him to invite to the AHL camp. Someone locally said that this player had to be AHL or CHL, with no possibility of ECHL (or other lower league). I thought any sort of rules about minor/lower pro leagues and the CHL only applied to players under 20.
