I'm glad to hear that he'll be allowed to play in Quebec. Having to go home early is a big enough punishment as it is.
Interesting tidbit about Adam Erne from Boltprospects.com today. We might have this exact conversation next season, He will only be 20 years old in April 2015, which means next season at training camp, he'll have 2 options 1) NHL 2) QMJHL. He won't be eligible for AHL. Next season though if he has a similar training camp I expect him to take Ryan Malone's roster spot!
Wasnt sure where else to put this:

His return is set to March 31st, which would be the 6th game of the first round if it goes there.
Quebec is expected to win the first round so he should get some playoff games in. If not he might will be up in the A on a tryout or a black ace with the big club.
Haven't seen much of Erne besides WJC...seemed like a bit of a floater. Hopefully they havent completely ripped his physical game away with all the big hits he's had this year.

Québec is the higher seed but it´s not a sure thing especially without their two leading scorers. If there's no surprise in the 1st round, it will be Québec vs Halifax in the 2nd.
Isn't he too young to play in the AHL?

Full time yes but I'm pretty certain they allow CHL player's to play after their seasons end. I recall Morgan Reilly playing for the Marlies last season.
Exactly. Junior players can play AHL or NHL after their season ends. Which means one of Erne or Drouin would probably be called up after the 2nd round.
When would the date be at the end of the 2nd round? There aren't many AHL games left so they might not see any action.
I think if Drouin goes out first he'd get a look with the big club and not the Crunch. Erne might too since he had a great camp and played well in the preseason, it depends how he comes back from the injury.
syracuse is not going to the playoffs
Yup. Syracuse can go 15-0 the rest of the way and still only have an 84.1% chance to make the postseason.
