Thread: Los Angeles Kings signed Arthur Kaliyev (3 Years / $1,066,667 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>Players aged 15–20 are eligible to play in the WHL, though 15-year-olds are permitted to play only five games unless their midget team's season has ended.

This is true for every single CHL league.
So any 15 year old can play.
And according to the google info he posted 1 game.... 1 game. disqualifies you.

I think that's really harsh. 15 year old kids could end up playing in the CHL 1 game and then not be able to go to college and play at 18 is absurd.
They need a rules change.</div></div>

The NCAA needs to change it's rules period. The CHL isn't a professional league and has been ruled in various provinces and the state of Washington that it is an amateur league and it is. The CHL provides scholarships to the Canadian University programs across the country to it's players when there playing career is complete. If you can compete in the USHL and be eligible to play in the NCAA then playing in any of the three CHL leagues isn't any different. The way it's set up is a win for the CHL so I'm not complaining really.

For the first time ever starting next season a 15 year old will be playing full time in the WHL. Never has it happened before, Connor Bedard will be the very first 15 year old granted exceptional status in the WHL.

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junior_ice_hockey" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junior_ice_hockey</a>

15 year olds can only play a few games and are not on the rosters. The league teams are comprises of 16-19 year olds. With the allowance of 3 20 year olds. If you use both import slots as teams are only allowed two. Great! but like my Wheaties Patera took an import spot and a 20 year old spot this season. 15 year olds are not allowed and if a player gets a small trial for the following season it's normally at the end of there junior A/AAA Bantam season so they can get accustomed to the CHL pace and level of play for the following season. As I said, Bedard playing next season will be the very first WHL 15 year playing full time and will be required to wear a cage like any other 15 year playing there 2/3 games they get any other time.

Thread: Vegas Golden Knights signed Peyton Krebs (3 Years / $1,337,500 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bill_Karsen</b></div><div>The pay is fine but the term is outrageous. Those signing bonuses, who does he think he is, Marner? He hasn’t proved anything yet. Can he kill five minute majors? Vegas needs that.</div></div>

He is a junior hockey player.... not even turned pro yet... nevermind a recent hmmm 1st round draft selection and a 3 year ELC is standard for any 1st contract with bonuses ranging depending on draft position and player for a first round selection. The contract is going to slide for his development and going to be cheaper AAV when he actually does turn pro. He is more than likely to develop with the Wolves his first full season pro and gain experience that way on top of it all. Great pick by the Golden Knights in the first round and great signing for that organization even if he turns out to to be a bust but probably won't be.
