ahl06_200.jpgIt might be the busiest couple of days of the American Hockey League season.

The NHL trade deadline was 3:00 p.m. (ET) Tuesday, followed 48 hours later by the AHL’s own Clear Day deadline, when all 29 teams have to submit their 22-man Clear Day lists.

Only those players listed on a team’s Clear Day roster are eligible to compete in the remainder of the AHL regular season and in the 2008 Calder Cup Playoffs, unless emergency conditions arise as a result of recall, injury or suspension.

Teams may also add signed junior players or players on amateur tryout contracts after Clear Day, but only once their respective junior or college seasons are complete.
