Prospect Info: 2024 Draft, 9th Overall, Zayne Parekh

[Kingpin794]

1+2 today, 99 pts in 56, 24 pts in his last 10 games...

Come on hot dog- you need 2 pts to beat Ryan Ellis (100 pts in 58 games).

Why wasn't this guy called up and play for Juniors again?

Peter Anholt and Dave Cameron are hockey terrorists.

Once he's sent down he can't be brought back up until the seasons over. Next year we should absolutely give him 10 games to try and if he's not ready keep his rights and loan him to Europe

My understanding is he's not eligible to be loaned to europe... the only way he could is by going to teh KHL and getting his contract with the Flames suspended since they don't have a transfer agreement

How did Valimaki get loaned? Was it AHL transfer agreement (which Parekh wouldn't have)?

Valimaki is a late birthday. Players born between Sept 16 and Dec 31 turn 20 in their draft+2 seasons, thus by CHL rules are overage in that year and AHL eligible.

It's the same thing with Honzek and Brzustewicz, had they been born in August rather than November, they would have had to play in the CHL this season. It's teh same rerason they were not eligible for the WJC this year too.

It gets confusing because between the NHL and CHL they use 3 different dates. Date for teh draft is 18 by Sept 15, but free agency uses a players age as of July 1 and the CHL uses calendar years.
