can he sign an AHL deal as an 18 year old when he is signed with a CHL team and still draft eligible for 2015? The Capitals guy never played for the CHL IIRC

From what I am being told, there is no way around it.

Why is that the issue? The Leafs signed Cody Donaghey and he is draft eligible for next year.

Good point. The Capitals guy was playing in Europe for the entire season.

The rules seems to state that you can only sign if you played the full season in North America. Since Tkachev played some in Russia last year, he isn't eligible to be signed.

So they pretty much just showcased this kid and will not benefit in any way.
How do the Oilers miss this? You'd think they would do the due diligence with the rules and everything..

Haha how embarrassing!
Pump this guy up like crazy for weeks and then likely lose him for nothing?

Interesting. Not quite as embarrassing as the O'Reilly offer sheet fiasco but still... these Alberta sports management teams just exude professional competence don't they!?

The Tkachev signing was bold, but now the Oilers are left out in the cold...

that's exactly it. For example, the Flames had no problem signing Turner Elson in 2011 although he was still draft eligible in 2012, that alone isn't an issue. It's the "has played in Europe last season" part. Just like Tomas Hyka in 2011 and Nathan Walker in 2013. With two precedents like that, it's astonishing that Oilers have managed to make this mistake.

Have to feel bad for the kid though. He was all fired up to get an NHL deal but sadly the team he signed with didn't know the rules.

Craig MacTavish @FakeOilersGM
It seems my Tkachev signing was too BOLD.
Craig MacTavish @FakeOilersGM
Hey @NHL, while you're at it, could you do me a favour and also void Jesse Joensuu's contract?

As soon as I read this I had to go to HF Oilers board. I was rewarded with pure gold!

At least when Feaster got caught with ROR, there were no precedent examples.
There's an example of this mistake just last season.
