They are using a loophole, any NHL player that is scratched for 5 straight games can be sent down for a one time “conditioning stint” in the AHL for 2 weeks. This can only happen once a season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 In last year’s 2021-2022 NHL draft prospects thread, I commented that when I viewed his highlight videos that I didn’t think Wright was that impressive. Nothing he did was explosive looking to me. I just didn’t get the number overall pick hype at all. The fact that he fell in the draft and is now doing an AHL stint doesn’t surprise me in the least. I also wouldn’t be surprised if he’s eventually returned to the OHL this year, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerreaultForever Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Yes, it is the rule bending conditioning stint loophole. The rumour is the plan is to play those games and then go play in the Worlds and after that they will decide if he goes back to Seattle or junior.
