The NHL-CHL agreement mandates that players drafted from the CHL must complete their entire major junior eligibility before being permitted to play full time in the AHL or any professional league other than the NHL. TSN.ca proposed Wednesday that fourth-year major junior players selected in the first round of the NHL draft be eligible to play in the AHL – if in the view of their NHL teams they have effectively outgrown the CHL but are not yet ready for the NHL. Our story suggested two criteria for early AHL eligibility: 1. Players must have been selected in the first round of the NHL draft and have played three full seasons in the CHL. 2. Players must pass a tryout period – say 9 games in the AHL to mirror the NHL 9-game tryout period - to prove they have effectively outgrown the CHL. This is our logic: 1. Only NHL-rated elite players (e.g. first rounders) would be included to guard against a new system cutting too deeply into the CHL talent pool. 2. CHL teams should consider three full seasons fair return on their investments. Consider that NHL players are technically free agents after going through the three-year entry level system. The nine CHLers - including current NHLers Bo Horvat (Vancouver), Curtis Lazar (Ottawa) and Sam Reinhart (Buffalo) - who would be candidates to play in the AHL this season are: Max Domi (Arizona) Sam Morin (Philadelphia) Josh Morrissey (Winnipeg) Darnell Nurse (Edmonton) Nick Ritchie (Anaheim) Shea Theodore (Anaheim) This is what We Said. Here is what You Said: TWITTER: Daniel Deschenes @DDeschenesFC - every players right development path is different, whether it be CHL or NCAA and now AHL vs CHL. Something needs to change Dan Weiss @DanWeissPBP - If a player can gain exceptional status to play in the CHL as a 15-year-old they should be able to play in the AHL at 18/19. Dan Weiss @DanWeissPBP - Plus those who say the CHL would be devastated is exaggerating. Those are hockey markets regardless of the talent. Matt Moran @MattyMo26 - NHL teams should have a designated number of cards to allow a player to play in the AHL early w/ fee to compensate CHL team. Matt Moran @MattyMo26 - @CraigJButton can also simplify WJC discussion with elite players - the John Carlson effect - played in Hershey in 2010, led USA to WJC gold Paul Anca @PAnca_96 - Must have played one CHL season after being drafted, draft selection shouldnt be part of eligibility & burns one year of ELC. Ryan Wagman @RAWagman - As the hit to CHL teams is financial, perhaps a clause allowing NHL teams to purchase player rights early. FACEBOOK: Carson McConnell - If that 19yr old (Currently 1995) is fractions to becoming NHL ready and needs more than a conditioning stint in the AHL (ie. Bo Horvat), then I agree - but not if the guy could use the minutes in the CHL. TSN.CA: Ben Huigenbos - agreed, and this change would actually add to the incentive to play CHL over NCAA perhaps, which would be a win for CHL. I love it and hope they can make agreement with the CHL. Uruguay Syd - An excellent plan, guys. Horvat has yet to play an NHL regular season game, and could very well take until late November to do so. Is 3rd or 4th line center, fighting for time with natural and more experienced centers, Richardson, Vey, and Matthias, giving him a better chance to develop than playing full-time center in the AHL? Probably no. However, except for this conditioning stint, it is not an option. Sending him back to junior in November, a man among boys, will be a big step back. Cory Joseph Kings Jersey .

BERLIN -- Kevin-Prince Boateng scored late for Schalke to beat Wolfsburg 2-1 and move fourth in the Bundesliga on Saturday, while Hamburger SV slipped further into crisis with a 3-0 loss at Hoffenheim. Boateng scored in the 81st minute following some good interplay between Leon Goretzka and Roman Neustaedter, restoring the home sides lead after Maximilian Arnold equalized for 10-man Wolfsburg in the 65th. Felipe Santana opened the scoring in the ninth, when Boatengs effort rebounded off his shoulder and squirmed inside the post after a corner. Wolfsburgs task was made more difficult when midfielder Daniel Caligiuri was sent off in the 50th. TV replays suggested he had made a remark to the linesman. "Im delighted with the win," Boateng said. "It was hugely important. The fans got to see a good match, they had to fret for a little bit, but that keeps us all young." Borussia Moenchengladbach lost 3-1 at Hannover in the late game, missing out on the chance to reclaim fourth place. "Its not undeserved, the 3-1," Moenchengladbach coach Lucien Favre said. "We lost the ball too often, didnt move enough. They played well, countered well, theyre very dangerous here." Artjoms Rudnevs opened the scoring in the 57th when Szabolcs Huszti crossed to the far post. It was the Latvian strikers second goal in as many games since switching from Hamburg. Huszti also created Hannovers second in the 82nd, with another precise cross for Mame Biram Diouf. Peniel Kokou Mlapa pulled one back two minutes later to set up a frenetic finish, but Diouf sealed the result in the 89th to maintain new Hannover coach Tayfun Korkuts winning start. Earlier, Bayer Leverkusen left it late to come from behind and beat Stuttgart 2-1 and consolidate second place. Eren Derdiyoks 84th-minute header condemned Stuttgart to its fourth successive defeat. Moritz Leitner opened the scoring for Stuttgart with a fine strike to the top left corner in the 12th, 14 minutes before Stefan Kiessling equalized by beating a defender and curling his shot inside the far post. "Its like Groundhog Day for me," Stuttgart coach Thomas Schneider said. "Wee take the lead like in the last games and then give the game away.dddddddddddd Altogether a bitter afternoon for us." Mainz defeated Freiburg 2-0, and Augsburg beat 10-man Werder Bremen 3-1. Hamburg, the only side to have played every season of the Bundesliga, offered little to suggest it would escape its first relegation in slumping to its fifth successive loss. "Our biggest problem is that were conceding goals too easily," said Hamburg coach Bert van Marwijk, whose side has the worst defence in the league. Roberto Firmino fired Hoffenheim ahead in the fourth, though TV replays suggested a hint of offside when Kevin Volland played him through. Poor defending allowed Niklas Suele to make it 2-0 with a header from Sejad Salihovics cross at the end of the first half, and the visiting fans began leaving when Andreas Beck made it 3-0 on the hour. Hamburg is in the relegation playoff place and will end the weekend in a direct relegation place if Nuremberg beats Hertha Berlin on Sunday. "Were facing criticism, were playing catastrophically. The coach cant do anything about that," Hamburg midfielder Rafael van der Vaart said. "We understand his system. Its the quality thats lacking at the end of the day." Goals from South Koreans Park Joo-ho and Koo Ja-cheol in the 25th and 86th respectively were enough for Mainz to give Freiburg its 10th defeat of the season and leave it just one point ahead of Hamburg. Augsburgs seven game unbeaten run is a club record. It started badly against Bremen when Jan-Ingwer Callsen-Bracker headed Zlatko Junuzovics corner into his own net in the third minute, but Tobias Werner equalized with a deflected shot in the 11th, and the visitors were reduced to 10 men before the break when Santiago Garcia received his second yellow card for a lunge. The Argentine was incensed with the decision after appearing to make no contact with Matthias Ostrzolek. Halil Altintop gave Augsburg the lead with a fine volley in the 49th and Andre Hahn capitalized on a defensive mix-up to secure the win six minutes later.
