Have to think that the quality of play is higher in the ECHL than what it is in the dub.

Admittedly, I have never watched an ECHL game, but my perception is that the quality of play in the CHL is higher than the ECHL. The CHL is full of players who will one day become NHL regulars and ever more who will become AHL regulars, very few ECHL players will ever play an NHL game and almost none will be regulars.
Also, Morin is an over age player for the CHL, so they would have to find a team that has room for another over age player (the maximum allowed is 3 and Moncton currently has 3). Even though Basha is currently 20, he was still 19 when the season started, so he isn't over age this season and the Tigers don't need to make any special moves to fit him on the roster.
