AHL training camps don't start until the end of September usually so they have nowhere to send AHL guys if they cut them.
I'm not sure why they do it that way. Maybe to make sure that the AHL team has enough bodies to make training camp worthwhile instead of having them trickle in one by one.
Maybe it just has to do with travel logistics/money saving. Lots of decent reasons out there I imagine.
