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.
#Oilers believe Isaac Howard is ready to enter #NHL immediately - signed out of @MSU_Hockey and be in Edmonton’s opening night lineup. Fascinating trade. Depending on who you trust, some scouts think O’Reilly is the better long-term prospect. Howard is NHL ready now.
We have acquired forward Sam O’Reilly from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for forward Isaac Howard. 📝: tbl.co/7-8oreilly
