Krusher55 Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 You are wrong. You only have to be 18 to play in the AHL. I've posted a few times the letter I received from the AHL concerning this matter a few times in different threads but it always comes up and not many seem to believe me so write the AHL yourself and you'll get the answer and then you'll know. The reason why you think it is 20 years old is becasue that is the age that the players get released form there jr teams. The AHL recognizes and honors the agreements that the CHL has with there players, otherwise it would be complete chaos and they would be plucking players out of the CHL to play in the AHL. If a player somehow made it to 18 and not drafted by a jr team and a AHL team wanted to sign him, they certainly could and that person would be allowed to play. he speaks the truth, i remember him typing it up a few times. I just didn't want to try quoting you and getting it wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93thekiller Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I think that PK Subban is going to make the Habs in a few years. He's a heck of a skater and an athlete, and he's got some really good puck skills. I have a feeling that he's our future powerplay specialist!!! I wouldn't be surprised to see him follow the route of Mark Streit in terms of being a utility player... Playing third line minutes on defence, manning the point on the PP, and playing some hockey at forward too. I could see that being the case in a few years.

He's a heck of a skater and an athlete, and he's got some really good puck skills. I have a feeling that he's our future powerplay specialist!!! I think that will be Weber, who has a an even harder shot than P.K. and more accurate. He also moves the puck better and is more responsible on defense. On the other hand, P.K is a fury in fast attack roles and an excellent skater - I can really see him being moved to forward... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i heard about Weber's shot, sounds like I wouldn't wanna be in front of it lol... Weber sounds like a good puck mover too. I can't wait for him to suit up for the Dogs. As for PK, i could see him being developed into a forward, but I'd also imagine that he might be a force at the point on the PP too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafs_rock_go_mccabe Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I enjoy how TSN has a video on our new giant goaltender, and Subban is trying to come up with a nickname. Subban is pretty darn personable. I hope one day he makes the NHL. He has the right kind of attitude to be an amazing team player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny_rudeboy Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Trevor Timmons says: "P.K. has another year of eligibility with Belleville," Timmins said. "He's a key guy on their power play and he's tough to play against. Subban has more than exceeded expectations to date. He was on Belleville's top defensive pairing. He's got a tremendous shot from the point, which they use on their power play. "He attended the Canadian World Junior Team camp in Ottawa in July. He was a member of the gold-medal team last year as a seventh defenseman. We're looking for him to make the team and make more of a contribution this year. What's interesting about Subban is he produces his best hockey at playoff time. We hope he can continue that trend."

risteenhuis Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 I would think that Weber or Subban will be given a chance on PP in Montreal this season. We need a good offensive defenceman on the PP. The rest of the game the rookie could either play minimum ice time or even on the 4th forward line as they both are good skaters with offensive skill.

Johnny_rudeboy Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Subban is heading back to Bellevile this year. Timmons would like to see him get another year experience and make the Canadian Junior Team to play at the international level. Right now there are enough of the Hab's defensive propsects in Hamilton with Valentenko, Carle and Weber most likely slotted for roster spots. Next year Subban will be ready to play in the AHL and McDonogh and Fischer could be ready as well. With so many prospects in the pipeline I can see Mr. Gainey trading one or two of the prospects away for other prospects or draft picks next June.

Rocket-1 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Both Webber and Subban are gonna make the team within the next few years, mark my words on that. If that don't happen, it's simply because one of them gets involve in a trade, because they both have the talent and discipline to make it to the NHL level, that's for sure, both of these kids are gonna play in the NHL.

I would suspect Team Canada as he is already a member of the Bellville Bulls maybe after this year in Bellevile pk might be ready for a year in the AHl and then after that year the NHL All depends how he progresses It's a big step from juniors to the AHL and an even bigger step from the AHL to the NHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_rudeboy Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Which team is Timmins specifically referring to here? As Regis posted "Team Canada". Last year P.K. was the 7th defencemen on the World Junior Team and only played a small role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourtrax Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Love his attitude and his skill set but he is years away from being a Hab, given his youth and how much depth we have on D in the pipeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Hamilton would be a good goal for next season! Give him 2 seasons there, with some potential callups in his 2nd full Hamilton season, and then we shall see where Subban is going to end up. Heck, I have this ALL planned out. I should be Timmins' assistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, his second AHL season will be a lot more interesting, since by that time Bouillon, Dandenault, and Brisebois will probably be gone and there will be more roster spots available for prospects. Right now, though, we have 8 d-men on the roster, and several players (Valentenko, Carle, Weber) ahead of Subban in age and development. Heck, I have this ALL planned out. I should be Timmins' assistant. Maybe you ARE his assistant. Duh duh DUH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
