To nobody’s shock, the AHL decided to cancel the regular season this week, which means many Toronto Maple Leafs prospects are officially out of work for the time-being.
Although the AHL season has been cancelled, that doesn’t have any affect on the NHL’s regular season and playoffs.
As mentioned earlier this week, there are a number of different factors that led to the cancellation of the AHL season, with revenue generation being the most important.
Without paying fans, the AHL doesn’t have enough financial backing to continue, whereas the NHL has a better opportunity thanks to their TV deals.
