I know NHL teams aren't allowed to assign say an 18 year old player to the AHL but could that player go play a year or 2 in the Elitserien for example?
I'm surprised a player of the caliber of Tavares didn't look at that possibility when he was 15 years old. 3 years in SEL collecting a salary probably would have been better for his development then the CHL.
It also amazes me how people think that KHL would waste their foreigner's quota on 15 year old Tavareses.....It continually amazes me how many HF Boards posters think the CHL is ruining their prospects.

Really? You would think things like the history of players developed in the CHL would suggest otherwise
The hyping of of the SEL is a bit much on these boards sometime
