Question- If theirs a Lockout, will the AHL still play?

[Soxrule111]

Been talking with my dad about this, if the NHL is locked out will the AHL still play? I can make reasons for yes and no, but curious if anyone knows the answer 100%

Yes they will, completely different collective bargaining agreement
