TBGKon Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 NJ was affiliated with te Albany River Rats for the past couple of years. I think next year they're with a new team, but I can tremember who it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I believe it might be Lowell. I'm not too sure considering Albany is going to be Carolina's farm team next season.But, yeah. You are right. Albany is still the Devils' farm team for now.Edit: Score one for lucky shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I don't think Utica has a hockey team anymore, last I knew they had a team in the UHL, but they are now disbanded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilbert Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 The Devils just ended their affiliation with the Albany River Rats. Their previous affiliation was with the Utica Devils. Utica no longer has a hockey team. Albany will now be affiliated with Carolina and I believe Colorado. New Jersey is now with Lowell Lock Monsters Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapshot Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Yup.For some strange reason, both Lowell and Albany are switching affiliates with each other.Since I moved to Lowell, my neighbors have been (literally):Los Angeles KingsCarolina HurricanesCalgary FlamesColorado Avalancheand now, the New Jersey Devils.

Eye Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I've always wondered this. Will the players that are currently on Albany go to Lowell? Or is it just like they made one big, massive trade of minor leaguers, by agreeing to switch farm teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just like when the Winnipeg Jets moved to Phoenix.The only players who might stay with the franchise (not the NHL team) would be players signed by the team, sometimes they're free agents but usually short-timers on PTO's (part-time player try-outs, sometimes 10-day or 5-game agreements).

Or is it just like they made one big, massive trade of minor leaguers, by agreeing to switch farm teams? Players from Albany are going to Lowell. This happens often in the AHL with many NHL teams constantly switching affiliates. That would be one crazy @$$ trade if it were like that.
