Once a player's junior team is done playing for the season, he can be loaned to your AHL team for the remainder of the regular season and playoffs. This happens often, and depending on his age, the player can go back to junior again in the fall (this happened last season with Kulak).
The problem for Monahan's situation is that in order to be eligible to play in the AHL playoffs, a player must be below the NHL level (AHL, ECHL, College, or Junior) at the NHL Trade Deadline. Because of the CHL agreement, he can't be anywhere but the NHL or OHL at the Trade Deadline, so he won't be getting any AHL playoff time.
