Does anyone think Hexy could send Ghost back down regardless of how he plays so he doesn't burn a year off the ELC?

If they don't starting winning it might make some sense. Then again you should really do whatever is best for his development.

When another shot is attempted.

So if I kick the puck at an opposing defender, and he passes it to a teammate who accidentally puts it into his net, it's deemed no goal because it was "kicked in?"

AHL is pro hockey and counts as a year on his EL deal. Only players age 18 and 19 can have a contract year slide.

I believe that is considered the same as another shot. It's a separate play.

But that's my question: what has to transpire, aside from a teammate taking another shot, to end the "kick" sequence? Goalie makes a clean save? Clear possession change (what is "clear?")? Clearly, a puck directing/ricocheting off of an opponent isn't enough.

Yep. Kind of crazy to think that he'll already need to be extended after next season.

is this improv or based on fact

Obviously there are umpteen scenarios that we can make up. In the scenario you described, possession of the puck, clearly changed hands. If you kick the puck and it deflects off of the goalie or another player, into the net, that's a continuation of the same play.

Ghost is in the AHL...not Juniors...slide rule does not apply

It's not just a Junior thing. Hagg's contract slid last season despite playing the AHL.

What is an Entry Level Slide?
If a player who is signed to an entry-level contract and is 18 or 19 years of age (as of September 15 of the signing year), does not play in a minimum of 10 NHL games (including both regular season and playoffs; AHL games do not count), their contract is considered to ‘slide’, or extend, by one year. For example, if a player signed an ELC for three seasons from 2015-16 to 2017-2018, and their contract slides, their contract is now effective from 2016-17 to 2018-19.

Players who sign at 18 years old are eligible to have their contracted extended for 2 seasons. This extension does not apply if the player turns 20 between September 16 and December 31 in his signing year. Signing bonuses do not slide, and are paid to the player regardless of a slide, this causes the annual average of the players contract to change, and therefore the cap hit decreases for this player.

It's about age. Players in the AHL can have a contract year slide. Robert Haag had a year slide while playing in the AHL, because he was 19 and where he played junior hockey.

Question: If a player who is 18 plays >10 NHL games, can his contract slide the following year (assuming he plays <10 NHL games)? I can't think of a scenario where this would happen (Grigorenko was close) but it should be able to, correct?

Off the top of my head, I don't think they can slide. the second year is contingent on if they slid in the first year. That's just iirc, so take it for what it's worth.

If Gostisbehere keeps that up, there's no way he's going back to LHV when Streit comes back or not.

I think the best thing might be to send him down after Streit is back then after the TDL bring him up for the rest of the season. Can he be brought up later?

He can be brought up and sent down every day if the cap allows.

Good question, hmm. I think so, but not positive.

I think Streit's surgery was yesterday, so the six week timetable would have him back early in January. Who knows what other injuries and roster moves will happen by then? I don't see Ghost going down if he's playing major minutes and running the top PP unit.

I think Ghosts strong play on the PP makes it easier to move Streit. Like Bill said, I am sure the team values his vet presence, but the PPP are a huge part of Streit's value to another team

Right my bad. Its the CHL that doesnt allow 18-19 year olds to play in AHL. The more you know
