So thanks to this technicality, Nylander could end up in Stockton to start the season if the Flames did draft him. And if he can be assigned to Stockton off the bat, the Flames could call him up and down through the season with impunity.
That certainly makes it far more intriguing to draft Nylander this summer I won't lie. I don't see any way he is ready for the NHL in September but maybe he could be a call up or ready sooner if he plays pro right away
