Hope they get Filiatraut back but I'm guessing he's moved on.

I didn't know this... Ed, did you know this?

No, Sir! I did not.

File that under I don't care. What a minute issue to complain about.

 

[Pokecheque]

I mean, it's a developmental league (cue Tigervixxen snickering in background) so it makes sense they'd have rules in place for that. Unless this is a recent development I don't believe it prevents veterans like Mike McKenna, Cody McLeod, Darren Haydar, and Brian Willsie from having very long and successful AHL careers.

That developmental rule has been around for a long time... and SOB is just pissy because teams didn't want him around their younger guys.

(He is right though that very quickly you can see if the 20/21 year olds can cut it)

There’s plenty of room for the TJ Tynan’s of the world to make it a career out of being a AHL legend. The vet rule is over blown. It doesn’t count ECHL games and their number doesn’t accrue in season. A guy like Jacob MacDonald wasn’t even over the vet limit his first time with the org. Maybe there isn’t room for AHL third liners to be veterans but there’s enough room for them to take the major roles. If they truly wanted to be a “development league” they should cap it at max 5 guys not on ELC but that would never happen.

Behrens out for the season… worst fears on the practice injury were true.

You must be a rookie Av fan just getting into hockey to believe that lol. Do we know the injury? Please tell me it is not a torn MCL, ACL, or Shoulder.

E: Nevermind, just saw it in the injury thread.

Yet every year we see a bunch of ‘when we get healthy’ posts.
