Just to expand on that point, it doesn't matter where they play the rest of the season or playoffs. Both are burning a year of their ELC this season. The ELC slide only applies for players still in major juniors.
ELC and RFA time. Every game they spend in the AHL is wasted time on the UFA countdown clock.

Even Friedman recognizes it's time to bring them up. They don't have anything else to prove in the AHL.

They got business in my hockey, and I hate it.

It'll take someone getting LTIR'd for either of them to come up ala Kucherov, yeah.

We hope that doesn't happen. There will be space next year, let him go crush the AHL and learn how the grind at the professional level.

Barring players being disgruntled, I don't see movement in the top 9 to make room for Borkoven.

It's honestly unbelievable that we've been this healthy for so long, especially given the age of our many of our forwards.

It’s been so long since we had a truly significant injury. Perhaps getting a little balance on the great wheel after johns, bishop, some other career LTIR situations, plus the major hip surgeries to our best players while in their prime over the last several years. Or maybe that’s common and I just don’t pay enough attention to other teams. Certainly feels like we have been unlucky until recently

I, for one, am very surprised Hintz has been so healthy the last two seasons. I still have my doubts it will continue much longer, but it's definitely been a pleasant surprise after his previous seasons of regular IR time.

He does still miss a lot of games here and there, but he has been able to avoid any significant injuries

If there is any indication as they continue to dominate the AHL that either of those two are better than anyone in the top 9, then that should be the only consideration for bringing them up. Their development would obviously be accelerated by playing in the NHL as soon as possible, and that should outweigh any loyalty to any experienced players that aren't performing for any reason. Eschewing the former for the latter is bad roster management imo.
