Ugh...what a total waste of a roster spot that takes time away from developing our kids. Face punchers who don't have hockey skill no longer have a role in the NHL. They're definitely not needed in the AHL to protect your non-NHL players.
IF you're going down the road of needing an enforcer in the minors, at least get someone younger who may surprise everyone and eventually be called up to our 4th line one day.
