From what I understand, this is a glorified scrimmage season. VERY limited number of games, almost no travel, and no playoffs. Doesn't seem very conducive to development.
Also, there are minor league players in a serious cash crisis. Their salaries will be severely prorated and as a result will be a mere pittance. I think I read that all the NHL would have to do is pool together something like $8-12 million so these guys can keep food on the table. So I'm guessing they won't.
Holy crap, I didn't realize that. That sucks!
