ECHL experience, supposedly good at developing young players, like Makar.

The retread thing suggests, I think, that this management group has a limited network. As suggested, there's a few reasons why they put the band back together - I hope it's for one of these reasons, and not just showing a lack of imagination. We'll know by the end of this season if the plan is ...
