what is the mission of an ahl farm team?

[Centrum Hockey]

San Jose also has a multi-billionaire (majority) owner who supports the team (development).

The barracuda would be better served in their own arena such as Stockton or Fresno. The team is pretty much used as date filler and a season tickets perks now.

Stockton is taken, Centrum, good luck trying to get the Flames out of there, you'd have another Abbotsford brouhaha and Fresno collapsed years ago just like Augusta did and likely like Abbotsford, it's not worth potentially having another franchise crash mid-season, something no league wants, especially the AHL, WANTS TO HAVE TO CLEAN up, the original plans for the Barracuda likely would've been accomplished had the other contracts not been accomplished and options taken....
