An extension of the season ticket holder meeting but I was thinking it might make for an interesting discussion.

I am talking about the decision to change the systems in Abby to the same as the big club. Conroy expanded on this yesterday on the Big Show by citing the example of the Senators doing everything the same from practice set up and prep to meetings etc.

To me this seems like it should be a complete no brainer if a team isn't sharing a minor league club, it sounded like only a handful of clubs actually do it. I am not engaged when it comes to minor league workings so I may be missing something in how these things play out.

So am I missing something as to why this hasn't been happening for the last 8 or so years since the Flames went solo? Why don't all the teams do it this way? Is it simply a matter of not having complete control and only agreements with the minor league teams?
