I realize Abbotsford is in the thick of a heated playoff race, but it appears that the recently eligible players are not even getting a look for a spot.

Turner Elson - No Games Played
Max Reinhart - No Games Played
Brady Lamb - No Games Played
Joey Leach - No Games Played
David Eddy - 2 Games Played

Maybe I am making to much of a deal out of this, but when the heat are consistently icing players like Estoclet, Testwuide, Tuzzolino and Hugh Jessimen, non of which have professional contracts it makes me second guess the decision making down there.
They have won pretty much every game since the first of these players was assigned to Abbotsford.. It will probably take a loss or injury, or even a bad game by an individual for these other players to get a chance. The Heat are pretty healthy right now, one of the few times that's been true this season, and that's making it difficult for the Whl/College signings to crack the lineup. In the meantime, it gives the players a chance to make a bit of money and familiarize themselves with the one ice systems and off ice personnel making their transition to pro next year easier.
