Yep, all-in for the Utica Comets.

Looking forward to the rest of their post-season...

 

[DCantheDDad]

So. How bout them Comets and Whitecaps?

 

[iceburg]

Excited about following the Comets Calder Cup Quest!

 

[Kenins]

Kenins will play in Utica?

 

[Sir Bennington]

Anyone know any good streams for Comets games?

 

[ItsAllPartOfThePlan]

Kenins will play in Utica?

[Peen]

Isn't the Calder final shown on tv generally?

 

[nekyvGkOPaiWICTscLl6]

Let's go COMETS!!

 

[The Poacher]

Is it a game day for them?

edit: Wow not until the 29th, thats a long time in between games.

 

[DadBod]

This has probably been answered so I apologize in advance.

Can BoHo join the comets, if not then how come?

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Nope. Don't know the full reason other then he isn't eligible because he didn't make the deadline to get sent down. If they are on the Canucks roster and not the Comets past a certain point they are not eligible to join the Comets on the playoff run.

May have explained it bad, but it's the general gist.

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

Horvat was ineligible for the AHL at the deadline though... May be more to it than that.

This is my understanding why Bo Horvat cannot join the Comets for the playoffs.

Because he was 19 and drafted out of the CHL, Bo could not be assigned to the AHL this year except for a rehab.

To be eligible for the AHL playoffs all players on current NHL contracts have to be on the AHL team's roster at 3pm on trade deadline day which I believe was March 2nd. Vancouver made eligible to the Comets on 3/2 Markstrom, Biega, Corrado, Clendening and Kenins plus traded for and assigned to Utica Baertschi and Conacher. Bo could not be made eligible on 3/2 because of the age rule and so he cannot come down now.

All of the players made eligible were reassigned to Utica before the end of the year except Kenins who can come back now.

Players who finish their CHL season are eligible for the AHL playoffs if they sign a PTO or ATO with the AHL team. Bo cannot do that because he was in the NHL.

My thought is: Can we assign Bo to Junior, and then have him sign a ATO?

 

[Craz1bo1]

I don't think that's plausible, since it was either NHL or juniors for him this year. Since he stuck in the NHL, he can't go back to juniors.

Also, since Bo is already signed to an entry-level contract, and burned a year of it already, I don't think he can sign any others. Could be wrong though.

 

[Tiranis]

He's already under a professional contract. (Can't assign him to junior either since his team isn't playing anymore.)

 

[PhilMick]

We might need a PSA that Bo can't join the Comets :-/

Can Jake join them after the Hitmen are eliminated?

 

[crobro]

I heard on the radio today that Horvat is under consideration for team Canada at the WHC.

I'm like 99% sure Jake can join utica once the hitmen are eliminated.

Would be great if he got to go. Great experience for him.

 

[vanuck]

Here's hoping the Comets go far obviously. Would also ease some of the disappointment of how the Nucks went out.

 

[DCantheDDad]

Wow, a long time between games. I guess it makes sense with the distance to travel, this allows a nice transition and everybody to get set up so the best quality hockey can be served up on the ice. GO COMETS GO!

 

[PhilMick]

Yeah I thought so too. Let's say yes.
