Should become official soon from what I have been able to gather. Good to know its going that way.
It could lead to some serious problems. If a player is drafted out of the CHL but chooses to go the NCAA route, does the player re-enter the draft at 20 ?

East Coast
Also worth pointing out his brother Bryce went the opposite route, starting in London and leaving for the USHL at 20.

Knights are absolutely loaded. Hopefully Montgomery can get some offensive opportunity.

His tools are very impressive but he seems to be a long-term project. As Bondra noted, NCAA seemed like the perfect fit for such a player.

Curious to know the reason for the change 10 games into the season.
Will likely go to NCAA after this. I wonder if they promised him second line Center?

I would guess not but ??
Found a very good article that outlines all the pros and cons for the different leagues/ development paths. Good read for anyone who wants to dive into the impactions of the CHL NCAA transfer agreement.

Sounds like as of early October nothing was conclusive on the topic of a CHL player moving to the NCAA and waiting out his draft team the same way an NCAA drafted player can.

"4. NCAA Free Agency

The NCAA is the leader in free-agent signings in both the NHL and AHL, providing late-blooming prospects with a longer development path. For players who go undrafted in their draft year, making the jump to the NCAA could be a serious consideration, as it offers them a chance to prove themselves against older and stronger players. Additionally, NCAA players have an option that CHL players do not: they can force free agency by waiting out the team that drafted them. For example, a player from the Brandon Wheat Kings could be drafted at 19 years old by the Florida Panthers. If he is a center and the organization is very deep at that position, instead of signing with Florida at 20 and beginning his career as a third-line center in the AHL, he could choose to play in the NCAA, wait another year, and then become a free agent, allowing him to sign with any team at a higher salary and find the best path for his career. This represents a significant advantage for CHL players, who have not had that kind of leverage. This subject will be one of the focuses of the NHL/CHL agreement."

That article is from a month ago. I thought I had read something that they were going to vote as early as this week. This article from Sportsnet discusses some of the hurdles

more to come on this

Lots of questions still

This one has some answers

What isn’t clear is what’ll happen to the player signing window. Right now, NHL teams have two years to sign a player drafted out of the CHL, while it’s four years for NCAA players. It’s unclear how that’ll proceed moving forward.

Yakemchuk would have been nice in the NCAA. Imagine 2 years at North dakota

Damn Dickinson on fire. Heard he had no offence from people that know hockey and watched a lot of London

I thought the criticism of Dickinson was that he lacked a top pairing hockey IQ and had inflated numbers on a good to great London Knights team. Wouldn’t the same be true this year (inflated numbers)?

MONTGOMERY ON TAP: Knights associate GM Rob Simpson said one of the main hurdles to bringing NHL prospect Blake Montgomery to London has been cleared.

The Ottawa Senators fourth-rounder’s transfer agreement has been completed with the Lincoln Stars of the United States Hockey League and the next step is transfer approval between USA Hockey and Hockey Canada.

“All things look promising to have him in our lineup in the near future,” Simpson said.

The 19-year-old Montgomery, who had three goals and 10 points in 10 games this fall, recently left Lincoln and has been working out in Michigan. Now, the wheels are in motion to get him to London to start practising with the team.

The 6-foot-4, 187-pound forward had previously been verbally committed to the University of Wisconsin. His older brother Bryce played for the Knights from 2019-23 and is currently with the ECHL’s Bloomington Bison (New York Rangers affiliate).

“Blake is big, long and has talent and skill,” Simpson said. “He’ll be a good addition to our forward group.”

on the plus side Dickinson was not on their #1 pair last year as a 17 y/o and he is now in his 18 y/o season whereas Yak is in his 19 y/o season.
Last year George who we just saw with the Isles and Bonk did most of the heavy lifting.
He is off to a great start and leads the Knights in scoring this year . 14gp 11g 11a 22pts The inflated numbers thing is a bit of a lazy, incomplete argument. IQ we'll see; some scouts saw him as ahead due to his age while others had questions. His skating and physical tools are; to use the words of Dave Poulin; elite
