About This Page: This is a discussion on LA Kings Talk within the LetsGoKings.com forums, at Los Angeles Kings Hockey Fan Forum. Who comes back? Who plays where? Is the roster strong enough to make a playoff run? So many questions that are MUCH more interesting than talking about why O'Sullivan hasn't

Since this question seems to come up over and over again:
There is a private agreement in place between the NHL and the CHL that governs when a player coming from the CHL can play in the AHL. A player from the CHL has to either turn 20 by December 31st of the season (ie a player born in 1987 can start playing in the 2007-08 season, a player born in 1988 can start playing in the 2008-09 season etc.) OR have completed 4 seasons of junior eligibility. This agreement also covers European players if they are drafted out of the CHL (Examples would be players like Petr Vrana and Ivan Vishnevskiy). Also - CHL players are eligible to play in the AHL once their junior season is over (either by virtue of their junior team not making the playoffs or being eliminated from the playoffs) even if they don't yet meet the age or eligibility criteria listed above.
College players and European players (provided they are drafted out of Europe--even if they later play in the CHL) are not covered by this agreement. They only have to abide by the AHL's age requirement, which is that a player has to turn 18 by September 15 of any given season to be eligible to play. While you won't see many 18-year olds in the AHL, some European players have played at that age (e.g. Niklas Bergfors)
Campbell, Azevedo and Roe all fall under the first paragraph. Voinov and Loktionov fall under the 2nd paragraph.
MANCHESTER, NH – The Manchester Monarchs, the primary affiliate of the Los Angeles Kings, have signed center Marty Murray and defenseman Eric Werner to one-year contracts, Monarchs Director of Hockey Operations Hubie McDonough announced today.
The funny thing is, you can probably make a case that Manchester's goaltending duo will be better than LA's.....and I don't mean in the "comparable to their league" way.
I was considering Hickey as well, does the first "year" that he played 6 games or something count as a year of juniors meaning he has one more year left or is he now ready to play in the ahl if he doesnt make the kings ?
Enough about the Kings. Let's talk Monarchs!
