I hope he has a good year.  Seemed like a great kid when he was with us.

He deserves better than ECHL though, imo.

If UPL doesn't claw his way out of the dog house they may be flipping their mailing addresses by the start of the new year.

I have no idea how Houser has played this year, but it seems crazy that he won games in the NHL last year and now can't even stick in the AHL.  I guess they want to get UPL playing time to see if he can get out of his funk and perhaps they feel Dell is too experienced to send down to the ECHL.

No idea how their respective contracts read but I'm going to assume that may have a lot to do with who can go where.
