I think most CPHL teams do opt to carry 24 AHL guys or it's easy enough to sign dufus UFA's to make sure you can ice a full AHL team.

But I wonder if we couldn't add another AHL only contract option where a team has to sign a UFA from the current database if they suffer AHL injuries? Would be a two way 500k 1 year deal where the player goes straight to the AHL. That way the cost to release the player is next to nothing when everyone gets healthy. Just a thought. It's not an issue yet, but it could become one.

*edit...waste of time, just heal the AHL players if need, that is easier.
