It's been 3 weeks since the NHL started and we still have some underage players in some of the NHL line-up. How many of those will be back to their junior team before the 10 games and how many will stay?
First pick overall D Aaron Ekblad seems like he won't be back to his junior team. F Leon Draisaitl of Edmonton was rumoured to play 10 games or more. Others like Jonathan Drouin of Tampa Bay Lightning I think will stick around unless his play dropped off in the next few games. Washington's Andre Burakovsky looks good and has been playing as the Capitals' second-line centre, his natural position in junior is a winger.
What about Buffalo's Sam Reinhart, Nikita Zadorov, Curtis Lazar, Anthony Duclair and others? Who will stay and who will go back to junior? It is getting close to decision time for some of the coaches and GMs.
