I’m good with Mackey needing to earn his spot, that is not my question. If he hasn’t earned his spot yet, why give him a one way contract? I know there’s no salary cap in the AHL, it just reeks of poor management. That’s about a half a million dollars that could go into something like pro scouting which it seems this team could really use.
Signing a guy you have ear marked for the A to a one year deal, overpaying for Gudbranson. I just get tired of the head scratching decisions, even if some can pawn them off as no big deal.
Once upon a time I thought we were getting a moneyball GM who would be steps ahead of his peers. Instead this team still seems to operate in the prehistoric era.
