The NHL-CHL agreement mandates that players drafted from the CHL must complete their entire major junior eligibility before being permitted to play full time in the AHL or any professional league other than the NHL. TSN.ca proposed Wednesday that fourth-year major junior players selected in the first round of the NHL draft be eligible to play in the AHL – if in the view of their NHL teams they have effectively outgrown the CHL but are not yet ready for the NHL. Our story suggested two criteria for early AHL eligibility: 1. Players must have been selected in the first round of the NHL draft and have played three full seasons in the CHL. 2. Players must pass a tryout period – say 9 games in the AHL to mirror the NHL 9-game tryout period - to prove they have effectively outgrown the CHL. This is our logic: 1. Only NHL-rated elite players (e.g. first rounders) would be included to guard against a new system cutting too deeply into the CHL talent pool. 2. CHL teams should consider three full seasons fair return on their investments. Consider that NHL players are technically free agents after going through the three-year entry level system. The nine CHLers - including current NHLers Bo Horvat (Vancouver), Curtis Lazar (Ottawa) and Sam Reinhart (Buffalo) - who would be candidates to play in the AHL this season are: Max Domi (Arizona) Sam Morin (Philadelphia) Josh Morrissey (Winnipeg) Darnell Nurse (Edmonton) Nick Ritchie (Anaheim) Shea Theodore (Anaheim) This is what We Said. Here is what You Said: TWITTER: Daniel Deschenes @DDeschenesFC - every players right development path is different, whether it be CHL or NCAA and now AHL vs CHL. Something needs to change Dan Weiss @DanWeissPBP - If a player can gain exceptional status to play in the CHL as a 15-year-old they should be able to play in the AHL at 18/19. Dan Weiss @DanWeissPBP - Plus those who say the CHL would be devastated is exaggerating. Those are hockey markets regardless of the talent. Matt Moran @MattyMo26 - NHL teams should have a designated number of cards to allow a player to play in the AHL early w/ fee to compensate CHL team. Matt Moran @MattyMo26 - @CraigJButton can also simplify WJC discussion with elite players - the John Carlson effect - played in Hershey in 2010, led USA to WJC gold Paul Anca @PAnca_96 - Must have played one CHL season after being drafted, draft selection shouldnt be part of eligibility & burns one year of ELC. Ryan Wagman @RAWagman - As the hit to CHL teams is financial, perhaps a clause allowing NHL teams to purchase player rights early. FACEBOOK: Carson McConnell - If that 19yr old (Currently 1995) is fractions to becoming NHL ready and needs more than a conditioning stint in the AHL (ie. Bo Horvat), then I agree - but not if the guy could use the minutes in the CHL. TSN.CA: Ben Huigenbos - agreed, and this change would actually add to the incentive to play CHL over NCAA perhaps, which would be a win for CHL. I love it and hope they can make agreement with the CHL. Uruguay Syd - An excellent plan, guys. Horvat has yet to play an NHL regular season game, and could very well take until late November to do so. Is 3rd or 4th line center, fighting for time with natural and more experienced centers, Richardson, Vey, and Matthias, giving him a better chance to develop than playing full-time center in the AHL? Probably no. However, except for this conditioning stint, it is not an option. Sending him back to junior in November, a man among boys, will be a big step back. Marc Gasol Jersey .

SPIELBERG, Austria -- Formula One returned to business as usual Sunday as Nico Rosberg led Lewis Hamilton at the Austrian Grand Prix for the sixth 1-2 finish by Mercedes. Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo won the Canadian GP two weeks ago and Williams Felipe Massa took pole position for Sundays race but this had little effect on Mercedes which had missed out on the front row of the grid for the first time this season. "I was still very confident going into the race and knew I could win starting from third," said Rosberg, who celebrated his third win of the year and sixth overall as he extended his lead in the drivers championship over Hamilton to 29 points -- 165 vs. 136. "I am extremely happy," the German said. "Extending my lead was the main goal coming into this race." Williams Valtteri Bottas came third for his first career F1 podium while teammate Massa took fourth. Four-time champion Sebastian Vettel quit the race on lap 36 after overcoming engine problems early in the race. Rosberg succeeded where his father Keke had just failed 32 years ago, when he came up 0.05 short of Elio de Angelis at the 1982 Austrian GP. However, Keke Rosberg went on to become world champion that year, a feat Nico Rosberg is reluctant to think about yet. "29 is a nice gap but its still so early in the season," he said. Hamilton, who was ninth after qualifying, earned four places from a blistering start and won another place to work his way up to fourth in the opening lap. "It was a good start, one of the best starts Ive ever had," the 2008 F1 champion said. "To get from ninth to second and then pressure Nico shows the pace I had this weekend." Rosberg immediately overtook Bottas but lost that position again shortly after the first turn. Massa dropped from pole to fourth after the top four had their first pit stops and never threatened the leaders again. Sergio Perez remained in the lead until the 27th, overtaken by Rosberg who accelerated for the fastest lap so far to create distance on Hamilton, who got stuck behind Perez. The Mercedes drivers went 1-2 from lap 47 on but Rosberg kept Hamilton at bay, denying him a chance to overtake. The British driver saw his chances reduced as the two pit stops in the race cost him 1.9 seconds more than Rosberg who relaxed at the end. "I felt comfortable in the last lap," Rosberg said. "It wasnt that close." The race once more confirmed Mercedes has best adapted to the introduction this season of the 1.dddddddddddd6-litre turbocharged V6 engines with the build-in energy recovery system. Hamilton won four races in a row while Rosberg never finished worse than second. "Thats super, 1-2 means you cant do better," Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff said. "They both made some mistakes under pressure but did well to handle the situation near the end as we had some problems with the cooling system and the brakes." Mercedes stranglehold on F1 victories was broken by Ricciardo in Montreal, though Red Bull failed to threaten Mercedes again on its home circuit in Austria. Mercedes dominated practice Friday with Rosberg and Hamilton posting the fastest times, but Williams hit back the next day when Bottas led the final practice before Massa grabbed pole position -- his first in six years. Despite starting 1-2, Williams was not counting on a victory, Bottas admitted. "From all the data we had from practice we knew it was going to be difficult," the Finn said. "I am really happy for what we did with the whole team." Vettel lost drive in the second lap and had already been doubled by the field by the time he could pick up again. He later damaged the front wing of his Red Bull as he clipped the left rear wheel of Esteban Gutierrezs Sauber and shortly afterward quit the race in lap 36 for his third DNF of the season. "From the back of the pack there obviously was nothing I could do anymore," Vettel said. "Its bitter but weve learnt a lot and we still have to learn a lot more from this and look forward." The track was new to all but four of the 22 drivers as F1 returned to Austria for the first time since 2003. At 4.3 kilometres (2.7 miles), the Red Bull Ring is one of the shortest circuits on the calendar, though with just nine turns it features long straights. Situated in Central Austrias countryside, the track includes inclines of up to 12 per cent. It was the 27th Austrian GP, which has been held on different circuits since 1964, with Alain Prost winning a record three times. Until 1987, the races took place in nearby Zeltweg before Austria first disappeared from the calendar for 10 years. Spielberg also hosted the race from 1997-2003. Five years after the last race, Red Bull reportedly invested 200 million euros ($270 million) for upgrading the track and its surrounding infrastructure. The Austrian GP has been one of two new races to this seasons F1 calendar alongside the Russian GP, scheduled for Sochi in October.
