@xECK29x another question, this one more based on maybe game limitations? I don't think I've ever seen it spoken about.
is there a way to send NHL players to junior teams? I don't see a reason why for instance a 31st place Seattle would miss 18 year old Shane Wright for 2 weeks in December/January for the world juniors. Unless as mentioned this is a game limitation.
As long as the player has CHL rights they can be sent back after training camp starts
