Out of no where Athletic Reporter Scott Wheeler is saying there's chatter about the CHL / AHL agreement being revised. We might see 19 year olds moving from junior to the minors in a couple years.

That might solve the drafted player too good for the CHL issue.. gonna be a lot of AHL vet players lose roster spots.. teams will want space for their younger developing CHL draftees.
I still like the bantam draft.. gives small ton teams a chance to win a Memorial Cup, and rep an NHL player someday.. plus its the only team in town.. its a part of Canadian small town culture.. like Texas high school football.. hate to see it be dismantled..
Update:

Per Seravelli:
Sources say a new provision in the CBA will allow each #NHL team to place one 19-year-old CHL player in the #AHL per season.
One per organization per season and 18-year-olds are ineligible.
Begins in 2026-27 season
