It is not uncommon for the Assistant GM of the NHL team to be the AHL GM at the same time. The AHL teams now are almost all owned by the NHL team - when they are not, they're are getting huge money for developing players for that NHL team. In other words, the NHL GM DOES have potentially major influence in players time and development today as the primary goal is to develop players - so if coaches aren't receptive to this they could be fired. But in most cases, there NHL coach does not get involved directly from what I've seen. The NHL do have Development coaches now though but again they would work with the AHL coach and not telling him what to do and who to play

I think it's more the case that it's not quite part of the development vision at the moment...in addition to a timing/priority thing. No GM is the head coach of the NHL team as well like Road to Glory includes so fun vs. realism in not a factor in this scenario.
