Yes

I am not an expert, but...

All the "ineligibility" playoff rules are largely designed to keep NHL players from being sent down to stack a team. The AHL wants more fresh out of college and junior players.

FTR, he's down on a conditioning stint. Played the two games last weekend.

"Players on loan from other NHL organizations" would only be eligible if they were loaned to their current AHL teams before the AHL trade deadline.

"Players on loan to ECHL teams" are eligible provided they were not on an NHL roster at the NHL's trade deadline.

Everyone else on your list is eligible.

AHL usually handles that kind of loan on a case by case basis, and there was no doubt Tennyson was injured as he hadn't played since the end of February.

Tennyson played game 1 of the series, but was recalled before game 2. (Cuda won game 2, but not game 1 )

Can anyone explain this move?

BEARS ADD VETERAN MONARDO:

Hershey continues to tinker with its lineup as it preps for Game 1 in Portland on Friday. The Bears added forward Domenic Monardo to their roster via a PTO contract this week. Monardo, 27, played with Springfield this season, scoring eight goals and five assists in 44 games.

He played the entire season for Springfield but he was able to join another team for the playoffs...

He was on a PTO with Springfield all season, so he's eligible to be signed by another team once he was released.

 

[GarbageGoal]

Yeah, well there's that.

But in the AHL, we like to say "That's just Hershey".
