The only real prospects in Bake are Benson, Mcleod and the two goalies and they all have limited upside IMO.
No point in having them in Edmonton as there isn't much chance at all of a recall being actually needed to play?
My other guess would be maybe as Bakersfield had mid pack attendance last season the Oilers want to keep the meth addled fans in Bakersfield onboard. Stockton had the lowest attendance in the AHL last season so perhaps there is no incentive to appease the fans there.
