Glendale Star: "Then why were you looking at arenas in Seattle and Portland?" Knew it was only a matter of time after the Tempe arena started to derail. It was only the hope of something in the east valley that was keeping the Coyotes in town. Because presumably the Suns aren't too keen for them to be involved downtown.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I've seen this episode before. Had the Coyotes moved back in 2012, Seattle would likely have an arena by now. We're still not very close...

Nothing regarding the Wolves and Vegas has been announced, but it is expected that's where the Knights will go. I'm not even excited about the latest chapter of "Here We Go Again." I've been teased too many times. This is just an attempt to extort money from Glendale again now that the team's other options have fallen apart.

Sodboy13 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Oh, whoopsies! Guess there's always playing at Scottrade with the upper deck and sides of the lower bowl blocked off.

Marcos Flamengo Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Forget what I said. I think that the Golden Knights will have an affiliate in Reno or Salt Lake City or Fresno, and that the Wolves would remain affiliated with the Blues.

Theorically the Komets would be an affiliate of the Blues and the Wolves, but there is some major problems going on though. Because there's a portion of the roster who wants the team independently, without NHL/AHL affiliation, but there's also someother players in the team who has contracts with the Wolves and defends an affiliation with the Blues. The anti-players union sentiments may be bigger than we think for the people of Fort Wayne, we don't know what's going to happen up next for the Komets. The Golden Knights hasn't so far an AHL/ECHL affiliate. The AHL affiliate, in my humble opinion, would be Reno, because it would be closer from Vegas. And we don't know which city will become a home for a Golden Knights' ECHL affiliate, probably also we don't know that it would be in the West or in the East.

Sodboy13 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 The Fort Wayne Komets have no interest in having their roster largely dictated by an NHL club. They once created their own league, funding several of the other teams in it, to avoid paying into the Professional Hockey Players Association, which is the minor league hockey union. Unless the family suddenly decides to sell the team to somebody else, Fort Wayne will not be an AHL city. I've heard Reno before as a possible Vegas affiliate, but I can't remember if they have a suitable arena. It's likely Vegas will start with a short-term affiliation wherever they can get one before making arrangements for their own AHL franchise in the west.

And we don't know which city will become a home for a Golden Knights' ECHL affiliate, probably also we don't know that it would be in the West or in the East. MOD EDIT That said, the Blues want out of Chicago because the Wolves historically murder an NHL team's player development efforts by focusing on winning with their own players rather than giving the parent team's players playing time. Las Vegas is probably going to end up with the Wolves because 1) They don't really have a fully stocked farm roster because DUH. 2) they are the lowest, lowest man on the totem pole. The Blues are going to push for some sort of local option (Illinois or Missouri area), with the caveat that the Blues ownership group probably doesn't have a lot of money lying around, which is why they dumped the Peoria AHL franchise off to Vancouver (to be moved to West Coast location TBA/Utica as a halfway house) and then affiliated with the independently owned and operated Wolves despite the known damage it will do to player development because a few bread crumbs are better than nothing. With regards to the Komets, you got confused. The owners are anti-union (something about owing a couple years' worth of back dues to the Professional Hockey Players Association), so they jumped from league to league until the last remaining non-union league began to burn down around them, leaving them no choice but to move to the ECHL. Historically the Komets have pursued a me-first policy, and to be honest its less of a problem at the ECHL because most NHL teams don't have that deep of a farm system. The ECHL aspires to be like the AHL from a player-development perspective but its not quite there yet. The Blues, probably due to the aforementioned financial problems and hollowing out of their farm system, don't even have an ECHL affiliate right now and haven't given any real signs of wanting to address that. 1 Quote On 8/1/2010 at 4:01 PM, winters in buffalo said: You manage to balance agitation with just enough salient points to keep things interesting.

Sodboy13 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 No, there was talk of the Blues setting up their AHL shop in KC after pulling out of Rosemont. @rams80 says that may not happen now, because Tom Stillman is still meeting payroll for the Blues every week with aluminum cans and trips to the Coinstar at Schnuck's.
