Cage Posted July 14, 2014 Report Posted July 14, 2014 I know I've seen an explanation for this, but I'll ask anyhow.... why was Girgenson's able to turn pro and go straight to Rochester while Grigorenko and Zadorov can only play on the Sabres, who they may not be ready for, or with their Junior teams, who they've outgrown? Obviously the season in Rochester helped Girgenson's tremendously.... Quote

Swamp's link, above, has some more detail. Edited July 14, 2014 by Eleven Quote

Byebye Posted July 14, 2014 Report Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) The NHL and the chl have an agreement, if the kid is not playing in the NHL, he must play in the chl. Once he loses junior eligibility he may be placed in the AHL. Edited July 14, 2014 by Naulter8 Quote

Once he loses junior eligibility he may be placed in the AHL. A player may be placed in the AHL if he will turn 20 before December 31 that season. He need not lose junior eligibility first. Just wanted to clarify. Edited July 14, 2014 by Eleven Quote
