You can play in Euro leagues or the CHL after the World Juniors, but once you're drafted, you can only play in the AHL or NHL. Depending on your performance.

You say we can play in Euro league/CHL after WJC, do you mean a season/seasons, or do you mean you play another 5ish game tournament, for about 10ish games total to get drafted?

if we can’t play seasons like so many have been asking for since it’s removal, then it’s going to be a big bummer. I think most people already expected nothing new anyhow. The WJC is just a reskinned memorial/CHL cup tournament to make the draft process feel longer instead of actually letting us play in the juniors to determine draft position

You're only able to play in the minors until you get drafted. So, it's not going to be a whole season.

  So sleeveless gaming had a video where he said after the world juniors you can play the memorial cup or champions hockey league to increase your draft stock. It is at 1:15 of his video here:

  Do we play some regular season games (I know not full season) in CHEL/Euros, or do we just jump to the tournaments (memorial cup & champions hockey league) like in NHL25?

    Unfortunately, I don't have any other details on BaP. We'll need to wait for more news to be released.
