True. I meant in demand in the ahl btw. I have to believe they’re done with Primeau. Miller may be screwed because of his long injury. They may not hang onto him.
I assume Miller would be sent to the ECHL anyway. Even if not signed to an ELC, I'd expect him to get an AHL/ECHL feal to keep him around instead of a guy like Jones.
But if you have a Dobes/Fowler duo in the AHL and a NHL backup (Primeau or someone else), there is not much opportunity for Hughes for whose clock is ticking rapidly.
There is a scenario where they don't retain Primeau/sign a backup and just let Dobes and Hughes duke it out for the backup position with the loser going down to split the net with Fowler. Depends how much Hughes (Kent) is willing to gamble.
They could also wait another year to sign Fowler, but that would be purely a logistical decision since Fowler has nothing left to prove in the NCAA.
