“...if Florida truly considering adding him it would have to be in the capacity of the Thunderbirds”
FL’s AHL affiliate is now with the Charlotte Checkers. For some reason, the Hurricanes switched their affiliation from Charlotte to the Chicago Wolves. I forget what’s happening with the Springfield T-birds.
“Maybe Q and the Cats are doing him a solid? He has high respect for Q, and his time in Chicago was fruitful when they were together - with him coming up clutch in many big situations for the Hawks. If the PTO and future plans don’t work out with Florida, it could possibly put him back on the radar for some other teams looking for AHL/NHL help.“
I think you’re right on the money here. Darling is, IMO, strictly here as a training camp body. Perhaps he will do well enough to earn a shot with another club.

Good catch, Rats! I just corrected it. Forgot about the confusing AHL swap amongst teams...
Yes, I think Darling is getting a little showcase for other teams.
