Its called player development, dumbass. Its literally the point of the AHL
Oh, and reading the replies to the tweets. Its basically a buuuuunch of people from the Canes going "know your role", a few personalities from other previous NHL affiliates going "yeah, this isn't surprising from this asshole" and a lot of AHL beat writers saying the Canes are absolutely 100% in the wrong.
f*** this arrangement. Play out this year, buy another team and let Chicago die on the vine. They don't care about the needs of the NHL affiliate in this arrangement, all they care about is winning a title, even if that means actively avoiding playing players of the NHL affiliate, like they did to Kochetkov in the Calder Cup run. This guy is crying about not having enough AHL vets because we all damn well know those are the players he wants to play the most, to hell with prospect development.
