They also changed the AHL/NHL transaction rules. 

 

 

Any word if this is also going to apply to trade deadline day transactions?

Would expect they'd make an exception to that so the players that get moved down on paper will be able to play in the AHL playoffs when the parent team's season is done.  But, without seeing the actual paragraph from the CBA, don't know for certain.

So Benson Year 1 could not be in the AHL but after a year in the NHL he would have been eligible to play in the AHL in year 2?

 

Provided the Amerks that year didn't have any other 19 year olds who'd been eligible to be in the CHL, yes, apparently.

Unsure. My first thought is no but maybe there's a carve out.

I think with the NCAA as an option there may be fewer teenagers stagnating in the CHL once they have hit their junior ceiling.

I believe the CHL teams will become weaker as their top players move on earlier to NCAA or pro. They are a development league but  selling tickets with kids like McKenna is more profitable.
