I received these two questions earlier this month, but was holding out until I had more questions to answer. Then I realized it’s August.
Tim asks: What are the pros and cons of having prospects like Karl Henriksson and Nils Lundkvist in the SHL versus the AHL? Since their contracts would slide if signed, why not play them in Hartford where the team can set the minutes and development time? Is it the choice of the player?
This is a great question, and one that I don’t really have all the answers to.
