Yes, just he's not as good a player relative to the league as his brother is. Sounds like the whole thing was arranged long before July 1st with both of them, but maybe they originally saw Cal's role more like Borowiecki's new one. Then maybe they have been a little bit surprised by some players turning down their Milwaukee offers, so they realized, hey, we can actually just have him on a player deal instead, same difference?

No, unfortunately I started a new job in February and have already taken a couple vacations with my wife and family, so I don’t have the time to use to take a half day off.

Could they be waiting for guys to understand they aren't getting NHL deals and are then willing to sign AHL contracts?
No idea. Or they've already got a bunch signed and are just waiting for "Mission Accomplished" on a last few to announce them all en masse.
Yeah, the top-7 group in Milwaukee is kind of like the top-7 situation in Nashville atm also. If everybody was healthy both places, one regular-quality defenseman would be sitting every night both places.
You will not regret it. Best money I spent last year. Being able to watch all the games gave me a much better picture of what the prospects are doing and where they’re at in their development. This year’s team is going to be loaded with prospects making it even better.
We have 10 dmen under contract that should be in the minors and 7 dmen at the nhl level.The Admirals signed Dman Griffin Luce.

Milwaukee, WI— The Admirals announced today that the team has signed defenseman Griffin Luce to an American Hockey League contract...www.milwaukeeadmirals.com
I was surprised since Milwaukee already has Keaton Thompson under contract.
Well, they used 11 last season, which is probably pretty typical? They probably start Luce, Prokop, and Matier in Atlanta, I would guess.
Felhaber is a good regular season player, just not a playoff guy due to his small size. Kondelyk is a giant who can't play worth a darn and can't fight. He can go to Atlanta. When the season is over, he can take a plane back to his home country.Well, they used 11 last season, which is probably pretty typical?

Atlanta has 3 players signed themselves:
F - Mitch Walinski
F - Cody Sylvester
G - Tyler Harmon
... but they'll need a lot more. I don't know how the protected lists and qualifying offers really work in the ECHL, but they did give qualifying offers to several other players, which apparently have a July 22 deadline.
Assuming we send Grigals, and a couple forwards (maybe Felhaber and Kondelik?) there... they definitely need a bunch more players.
