Could or would a junior team just relinquish his rights if the Flames really wanted him in the AHL? They may not agree to it because they are still running a hockey team and he is an important piece of that, but just wondering if that sort of thing ever happens.

The first case of it happening is with Julius Honka and the Stars.

And a junior team can't relinquish WHL rights without the player going trough waivers first. A player like Honzek would be picked up.
