beekay414 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 The USHL has also been said to have surpassed the QMJHL in terms of prospect development. That's also because the USMNTDP plays in the USHL and they're usually pretty damn loaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy minutes and will be given all the opportunities. 2 weeks in the AHL lines up perfectly for a tournament starting here soon, the name of it is escaping me at the moment. So I can pretty much guarantee he will be lent for that. I still think there’s things for him to learn/gain from practicing and being around the NHL club even if he isn’t getting ice time.

They can't just send him to the AHL because his age and coming from CHL they'd have to give him back to the CHL for the rest of the year. He'll do this stint, then go to team Canada for world juniors, then they'll decide what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not playing for week at a time and this coming after he didn't play at all in his D-1 year. Would think playing would be a pretty big deal at this stage.

He won't gain anything from playing in the CHL. He lit it up before and he would again. He should be playing in the AHL but NHL rules are stupid. Plus then they definitely don't have him this season if they do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad People Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) I wouldnt mind seeing him sent back to the CHL if the Kraken have identified the areas of his game he needs to work on. Send him back and tell him "hey while youre there work on this, this and that and we will see ya in the offseason". I also agree that the NHL/ CHL rules are dumb. Kinda surprising you cant buy out his contract or something. Edited November 22, 2022 by mattyice0401 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's clearly not ready for the NHL, so not having access to him later in the season really shouldn't be that big of a deal. I'd rather just have him playing at this stage of his career given he hasn't been playing as much. Fortunately they are going to be getting him into some games here very shortly outside of the CHL. But this isn't a typical handling of a rookie by a team. Honestly, I think it's just because they want Kingston to trade him because kingston is bad.
