Hmm. Interesting.
Well, the Devils did the same thing last season and Appleby ended up starting 29 games for the Thunder.
Last season though the Flames didn't have a surplus of goaltending prospects in the pros, so I'm sure the Flames didn't have any problems giving up the net.
I guess we will see how it pans out, but what we do know for sure is that the Flames own that team, and the people who run/coach the team were hired by, and report to Flames AGM Brad Pascall.
We also know that it's a developmental team first and foremost so with McDonald, Rittich and Gillies all on ELC's and also having McCollum in the AHL, Flames brass is going to prefer having a Flames goalie in the ECHL net most of the time.
But yeah, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
