What is the Rule about Laughton?

Not real clear on the rule regarding the kid (Laughton) who seems to be playing well in Jrs.  I know that if he played nine or ten games in the NHL we had to keep him up, but is he untouchable now that he is not with the bigger clubs?  Just curious, since we might be able to use some sort of spark offensively.

Once he's sent back, he can't be recalled to the Flyers. The only exception is an emergency callup, and there would have to be a LOT of injuries for that to be an option. In other words, it won't happen.

Next year (as a 20 year old) he will go to the Phantoms if he doesn't make the squad out of camp, and be called up / sent down as needed.

Cannot be recalled until his Junior team's season ends, or in an unusual "emergency" situation.  Say, the Flyers have NO one in their entire organization that could play center, and no one in Adirondack to be called up....the league has to determine what is a justifiable emergency, IIRC.

 

And welcome to the board!
