Would that stop us from sending players down or call them up? The AHL still exists, even when they are not playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be a "paper" move. I don't think they can forbid teams from demoting players. 1 derblaueClaus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then buying Abby out was the right thing to do by him. This way he gets a chance to play hockey next season.

But there are a LOT of players playing in the AHL that are better than some players in the NHL (players that have been bought out in particular). Of course. Young prospects who are good enough to play in the NHL, but are kept in the AHL to get more playing time, for example. I was making a generalization. 3 minutes ago, Akakabuto said: Then buying Abby out was the right thing to do by him. This way he gets a chance to play hockey next season.

xault 272 Report post Posted October 6, 2020 It is a interesting time. With the AHL in trouble, I wondering how many teams are forced to play players they wouldn't of in years passed. All ready seeing a bunch of buyouts from around the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Owners and managers dolled out those contract and now they need to honor them. Thank god for the union or the BOG would've given out multiple compliance buyouts. Yeah. Buyouts are sooo bad for the players. They get their money without having to work for it. And they're free to re-sign with another team for more money. How horrible for them! 1 AtlantaHotWings reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol.....even if they scratched him, still better then a 6 year cap hit. 4 hours ago, kipwinger said: It's really not that hard to figure out. Having a couple million, and a roster spot, laying around might be the difference between a few more Marc Staal moves or not. Plus moving out trash, and moving more in, isn't blocking some kid either. At worst it's a lateral move. P And then there's the signal that it sends to guys like Larkin, Mantha, Bert, Hronek, etc. This is your team now boys. We’ll see what he does. If Yzerman spends up to the cap by acquiring more Marc Staals, then I’m ok with it. As to your last line, I agree, but I think an AHL demotion would do the same thing.
