So nobody sees the ECHL as an option?

I know it has that stigma where if you are an ECHLer you're basically a lost cause, but that's not necessarily true, especially as an 18 year old. Not to mention that the Flames have now own the ECHL team and have it set up to be a developmental team as well.

I doubt it happens, but it's possible IMO.

He'd get a ton of minutes there.
He'd have the option to be called back up to the AHL team.
He'd be playing against pros.
He'd be coached by a coach the Flames hired, and would have Pascal keeping a close eye on him.
