Today we also see young Russians who are sent down to the minors who get quite upset. They might play 1 year in the minors but the second year of their contract if they are still in the minors we have seen many go back to Russia for a couple years. They'd rather play in their home country with higher pay than be in the minors in North America.

I agree players have different expectations. Younger players should have no issue playing in the AHL until a certain age. At the other end if you do have a player on your team play a full season or two on the NHL squad, sending him down he could very well be upset.

Yes, this aspect definitely needs work in FHM
