Apparently the Dallas Stars have found a loophole in the CHL/NHL agreement and were able to assign Julius Honka to the AHL despite being drafted from the WHL in the 2014 draft.
The loophole was enabled because Honka was technically on loan from his Finnish team to Swift Current and therefore technically drafted out of Finland.
From what I can tell the IIHF has ruled on the matter and recognizes the assignment.
