I get it, but at that point you basically destroy Juniors, and that doesn't benefit anyone
I think they should raise the draft age to 20.

Juniors gets significantly better, and the draft becomes far more reliable/predictable. The only trade off is those rare talents that can play at 18/19 have to wait to come into the league, but I bet you also have less 1st overall busts.

So Poitras is going back to a league he already dominated. They need to change the rule so Canadian Junior players can play in the AHL as 19 year olds.
He is not ready for the AHL or he would be playing for Providence tonight and helping them.

Maybe the NCAA should change their rule so he can go there. That's a better option.
