Anyone read about the new CBA rule starting this season where teams will be allotted one spot in the AHL for a 19-year-old? Assuming the Hawks choices are essentially Vanacker or Spellacy if they decide to move one or the other up to AHL as they’re the only prospects that have signed their ELC that’d be worthy of the spot. Thoughts?
If it’s me, I’d move Spellacy up to AHL. Not sure how much more he’ll learn in the OHL and his ceiling/floor are a lot lower than Vanacker. I’d keep Vanacker in Brantford so he can get a full season of being the man with Lardis and O’Brien moving on and so he gets in a healthy season to gain confidence prior to moving up to AHL. He’s destined to be a crowd favorite when he hits the show but for now, let’s develop him properly.
18 year olds are still screwed or if they turn 19 during the season it’s ok?
A kid is drafted at 18 and after that he can only have 2 yrs of jrs eligibility left. So, no matter your exact age the very next yr after being drafted you’re considered 19 even if you still haven’t turned 19 to start the season and the following yr you’re considered 20.
So, just go by that and not exactly how old they are Any kid drafted, no matter his age at the time, will be eligible the very next season for the AHL under the new CBA.
I don’t know if it happened to anyone else, but i couldn’t register here, and just figured out a week later that the email to create a password was going to my Spam folder. All good now, just have to figure out how to do my profile
Edit: Actually figured it out.
Great to see guys trickling in. Glad you signed up and are posting, VBear. ..Is that the real BB from HB posting?….. This joint is starting to shape up.
Me too, the email from HHS went to my spam. Took me a month to figure out.

Forget everything I posted above. A kid will now be able to play AHL in his draft +2 yr, not his draft +1 yr. The rule is made for guys like KK who were not good enough for the NHL his draft +2 yr but too good for jrs.
Welcome. You have the same morning routine as me. I hope you post often.
I have been around for 16 or 17 years, but really just read. I will try and post more often.
Price traded to SJS for 5th round pick. Sharks also send a no name AHL defenseman back to Montreal.
Sharks likely insisted on the injured AHL D-man going to Montreal.
He’s signed for ’25/26 and they probably wanted the contract spot opened (of the 50 org total)Looks like Hockey Hot Stove has entered into an agreement with Capwages.com for salary cap information. Go to the HHS home page and select “Cap Tracker” along the top banner.
CapWages is great. While they have some bugs to work out to fully mirror their predecessor, CW is at least 3x better than that dinosaur site PuckPedia.

Oh, this is nice… But they have Kaiser listed as a projected 5.4 mil cap hit!! Hope that’s not what he’s holding out for……. Kid has 98 NHL games on some downright dog teams and he’s -4 in plus-minus. And the minus 4 was earned 3 yrs ago in just 9 games played as a rookie. He was even the last 2 yrs in 89 games.

Capwages gets their projected contract information from a site called AFP Analytics. They have an extensive spreadsheet showing project and actual contracts, player comparables, etc. I think they base their contract projections alot on % of total cap. With that said, I don’t think kaiser is worth 5.4M either, not yet anyway.
Another thing about posting here. You can’t reply to a comment that already has been replied to. For example – I wrote about this site using capwages. Then Mr. Richochet replied about Kaiser’s projected contract. I tried to reply to Rico, but it wouldn’t take. So I had to create a new comment. To reference Rico’s comment, I copied and pasted it, added the “@Mr. Ricochet” at the beginning, italicized it, then added my own response. See the previous post.
