70+K pay a year, no school and it can be a better development for you since you'll get to play a pro style game with closer to pro speeds and situations. Its not right for every player, but it can be right for guys who are able to keep with the game both mentally and physically.

Leddy was a guy who benefited from AHL time, not everyone does.

I think you're right in that there are some situations where it's probably good for the player's development, but it's frustrating to see so many of these kids leave early and flounder in the AHL/ECHL.

For us fans, it's an easy decision!

But, for the athlete, sometimes it's definitely gotta be tough to turn down that contract.
