You can't send non elc players on nhl contracts to the ECHL.Huh? How does a player union matter, they get paid the same no matter where you send them. Montreal is within it's right to send the player to the AHL or ECHL if they want, they can even simply tell them to stay home.
I doubt Hoffman would actually be so bad that it would necessitate those extremes, but they are options available if being in the AHL creates problems.
