I'm not sure. I know Luke Adam played in the last tournament, and he had NHL experience.I don't know the rules to the roster but can krieder play ?
Kreider would offically have 2 pro seasons.Teams are allowed 4 players with one year of pro hockey experience.
Miller and McIlrath are eligible to play.
Yogan and Jean have one year pro experience. Hrivik.
Donnay is playing for the Rangers at Traverse City.
Looks like it's a no:

Assuming they define it the same way as the CBA:How do they determine pro experience? NHL/AHL or anywhere?
Fasth and Lindberg have 2+ pro seasons in Sweden.
Sending Kreider would be a complete waste of time. He has nothing to prove against CHLers and AHLers. I don't know why we'd want him to go even if he was eligible.
Yeah Kreider dominating the AHL last season......................... dot dot dotSending Kreider would be a complete waste of time. He has nothing to prove against CHLers and AHLers. I don't know why we'd want him to go even if he was eligible.

Okay, let me amend my statements.
Chris Kreider has nothing to gain in attending a casual, pre-training camp tournament consisting largely of CHLers/NCAAers getting their first taste of professional hockey and Europeans getting their first taste of North American hockey. And for a handful of tryout guys to try an earn a contract. He's going to have the entirety of training camp and the pre-season to prove himself against the players he needs to prove himself against. There's nothing that Traverse City offers him exclusively.
Kreider may not be eligible. They allow 4 players with 1 year of pro experience. Kreider has 2 including 11-12.
I kind of disagree. If nothing else it gets Chris a few more games and an extra week of training camp. Those things will not hurt him. Every team is pretty likely to have guys on the verge of making their NHL teams. Chris fits that bill as well. Kreider's first pro season was not particularly great. He's eligible to play. He should go. He still has a lot to prove.
Should change it then to 'if he were eligible'.
In any case then what happens to McIlrath who played 2 regular season AHL games in 10-11 and 5 AHL playoff games in 11-12 + 12-13 with our AHL team?
JT Miller also played 5 AHL playoff games in 11-12 and split 12-13 between the AHL and NHL and Hrivik played 8 regular season AHL games in 11-12 + all the playoffs + the 12-13 season though he didn't actually sign with the Rangers organization until the summer between the 11-12 and 12-13 seasons.
