You don't see the harm from a NHL/AHL standpoint but losing your 7-8 best players per year in a league is a lot.
Like I said, why fix what isn't broken?
Some of these players who would be put in the AHL instead are now being put int he NHL. Marner for example. The Leafs next year may say, we'd like to have him in the AHL, but we can't, and we don't want him back down in the CHL again, so he comes to the NHL.
say 10 players, that's roughly 3 per league unless you're including the entire CHL as the league.
How do you know it's not broken? We don't know how these players would develop if they had a chance to be in the AHL. Imo it is broken, some players can go to the AHL to develop while other can't, that's not fair.
You don't think it's broken from a CHL perspective, but from a player development perspective I think there's a better solution.
Looking at the 2014 draft, these follow players might be in the AHL instead of the CHL now if their NHL team wanted them to be given the proposed rule
Dal Colle or Ho-Sang, Fleury, Perlini, Sanheim, Bleackley, Quenneville
6 guys. The CHL can live with these 6 guys potentially in the AHL.
