There is a cost to doing that though, even if bought out from the AHL.
There rules are made so that if you re-sign a UFA it is 1 way, but in open free agency they aren't - so that is one of the clear distinctions between the two.
I did wonder though, as I processed these deals, if we should re-order the criteria for who wins. Right now it goes $$, term, AHL%. I wonder if we should go $$, AHL%, term.
Something to consider for next season.
For now these rules have been in place for a number of years and have worked well.
