After taking him 1st overall in the 1990 draft, the Nords early in 1990-91 sent an 18-year-old Owen Nolan to Halifax in the AHL for a few games after making the NHL club (if you want to call them that) out of camp.
My questions are:
1) Why wasn’t this a violation of the CHL-NHL transfer rule, which IIRC was in place?
2) If not a violation, was it accepted since Nolan was born in Ireland and technically an “import”?
3) Or was it a conditioning assignment that may have been allowed?
