Alex Galchenyuk Thread 8.0 - "Time on Ice" Edition

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Does anyone know why OHL palyers can't play in the AHL until 21?

Seems rather stupid when the only options are Junior hockey or the NHL, while older players have more options.

It's until age 20 I think, see Nathan Beaulieu.

I think the idea is that it helps the CHL. They keep more stars this way, it helps their fanbase and makes that league more profitable, which is good for the NHL.

The rule should be waived for 1st rounders imo as NHL teams tend to bump them up anyway ...

The Hamilton Bulldogs would certainly be the best option for Alex Galchenyuk next year.

I completely agree with that.

Some younger players are clearly too good for CHL and would benefit from a year in the A to learn how to be a pro and play with older players.

Waiving for 1st rounders would be a great idea but I'd be happy with lowering the AHL age to 19. That way they can play the CHL as 18 y.o.'s and if they dominate but aren't quite ready to play in the NHL, they can graduate to the AHL.

Makes too much sense not to do it.

It isn't solely determined by age but years of service in the CHL also factor into the equation. I don't recall exactly how the rule reads though.

Its 20 years old ... In the CHL draft they are drafted all in the same year(1rst january to 31 december 1994) and NHL draft its september i think not sure but (1 september 1993 to 31 august 1994) . For example, Nathan Beaulieu was a late 92 in a 93 draft class so he could join bulldogs at the same time as Tinordi who was drafted a year before

20 years old or 4 years in the CHL, whichever comes first.

If a 15-year old player joins the CHL and plays 4 years, he could play in the AHL at 19.

Ahh, didnt knew that rule but i guess it doesnt happen often since 15 year olds need to be considered outstanding player like Tavares, McDavid

If I understand what you're looking for in the NHL drafting, the cut off date is September 15th.
