I believe the issue is that a team can't send a player from the NHL to the AHL after the trade deadline unless he was in the AHL at the deadline. That's why Pelletier and Duehr were "papered" down to the Wranglers at the deadline and instantly recalled.

On the other hand, players can go from junior or college (or even Europe, as we saw with Stromgren) directly to the AHL after the deadline without a problem.

In Coronato's case, he went straight from college to the NHL, so he couldn't be sent down. In Wright's case, if he had gone from Windsor to Seattle, he wouldn't have been eligible to go to the AHL after, but because he went straight there, he was okay.

The thing I'm not sure about is if CV gets bounced before Seattle, can Wright go be a Black Ace in Seattle?
