I'm pretty sure the lottery affects only the first round. I read it somewhere, I'm almost certain of this.
then i bet you are right. i was just going by what i thought.

I think Tallon will pick Kane..we need inmediate help
I agree. The BCHL could possibly be the best junior tier 2 league in the world.
Yeah but Kane isn't ready imho.He would benefit from at least 1 year in the AHL and he needs to get stronger/put up a few pounds because at 5"9 160lbs he's going to get destroyed in the NHL.
If you want immediate help you should pick Voracek.He and Alzner are the only two safe pick in the top 10 once again imho (an argument could also be made for JVR).
IMO, the USHL and BCHL are both well above the rest of the Tier II leagues, with the SJHL ranking #3.
but he would have to wait a year to play in the AHL. the situation with him reminds me of the one with marc staal last season. not quite ready for the NHL, to good for junior's and too young for the AHL. its a tricky situation.
Good point
This is pretty much the same situation Latendresse was in with The Habs at the beginning of the season.However Lats had the size to play in the NHL wherever Kane , not so much.I don't want to see him being broken in half like Gilbert Brule (broken sternum + fractured right leg in only 7 games).
On another note , they should abolish the 20 yrs old rule for the AHL because it's Pejorative Slured.I mean a 18 yrs old kid can play in the NHL but not in the AHL ?? It make absolutely no sense.It should be 18 yrs old.
it makes the CHL better
Bingo, without that rule it would rob CHL teams of their stars and hurt the leagues big time.
who made the rule?? it cant have been the NHL.
It's part of the CHL/NHL transfer agreement. I would assume the CHL made sure that rule was included to ensure their own survival.
what about the MJHL. a friend of mine is going to play for the best team in that league (not sure of the name) next season. i would just like to know how it compares to the USHL/BCHL.
Well there is nothing wrong with the league, definetely not as strong as the BCHL. Lets just say this, since 1975 no team from the MJHL has won the RBC Royal Bank Cup(which is the cup awarded to the best canadian tier 2 team) while the BCHL has had 9 winning teams.
The reason why the BCHL is so good, is because of the parity of good teams. There is never a dominating team that you may find in leagues such as AJHL(Camrose Kodiaks), MJHL(OCN Blizzard, which actually has recently gone to the shi**er-despite recently winning 5 titles in a row).
Also, the BCHL has produced some great players such as: Paul Kariya, Brett Hull, Dallas Drake, Shawn Horcoff, Glenn Anderson, Mark Recchi, Ray Ferraro, Geoff Courtnall, Cliff Ronning and Scott Gomez.
yeah, ok. but considering he played HS hockey in minnesota (hes team won the state championship) its definitely an upgrade right??
Does the lottery affect just the first round, or all seven rounds?
i can see why the CHL wanted the rule, but i dont like it one bit. especially since im not watching a lot of CHL games
The CHL would be decimated without it. It is critical to the survival of the league.
No one knows for sure?
Yeah probably, I dont know much about high school hockey, how old is he?
