<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hanson493</b></div><div>i mean this is what happens when you overextend your teams cap situation on 4 players. your solid depth players signed to good contracts have to be moved for future cheaper deals. 15th pick could very well land them schneider which is exactly the player they need. How ready he is to step up and contribute is a different story but he has top 4 right d shut down guy written all over him.</div></div>

Well seeing how the window to win for the Leafs is now and the next 2 years. If the Leafs do draft Schneider with that 15th pick. He is 3 years away from being in the NHL as the next two seasons he has to play in the CHL unless he on a Leafs roster. I don't see that for his 18 year old season or 19 year old season to be honest. Just two more wasted years of having Matthews under contract the next two seasons. Need to improve the backend with NHL players right now, not 3 or possibly 4 years from now. Waste away the Matthew years before he is a UFA and takes off to Arizona ;)

<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.
