@felixpotvin @Steve_Dangle Dubas has been talking up how he wants to take the baseball approach and have guys start at the ECHL and go up

@Jeffler @felixpotvin @Steve_Dangle It's a place players like Tyler Biggs go to die~ Good idea though.. Hope it works. #ECHL--- #AHL--- #NHL
ECHL(AA)--> AHL(AAA)-->NHL(MLB)
Most view the ECHL as a demotion, and in the past has been used primarily as such, as well for rehab stints.
With the leafs prospect pool getting deeper and deeper.. and the Marlies roster a mix of AHL veterans + up and coming prospects. There may not be enough room for guys like Gauthier/ Verhaegy etc.
The plan would be to start those guys in the ECHL and promote them when injuries occur in the AHL or when they've shown enough player development to warrant it.
I really like this idea and hope we do go this route
