It's a league rule that every AHL team must have an NHL affiliate, and with Vegas getting the Rampage and STL taking over Springfield, someone needs to take Chicago as an affiliate. It's also mentioned that it's only an option that they're looking into, not a decided thing. Most likely, they'll keep the affiliation with Charlotte and let Florida have Chicago.

I sure hope they stay with Charlotte. I, for one, like having a team that's successful and well-connected.

Geoff Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 From what I've seen and heard, this is an "option" because the relationship between Charlotte and Carolina has deteriorated. Whether that's front office or more on the ownership side, I'm not sure but given Dundon's history, it wouldn't surprise me if he's pissed someone else off.

That would have the be the only reason theyd consider moving affiliates from a regional pairing to the leftover Chicago Wolves. Florida-Chicago could make sense as flights can be had pretty easy from MDW and ORD to Fort Lauderdale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schlim Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 The Kansas City Scouts are officially back! Well, not in the NHL, in the NAHL. And not actually in Kansas City, Missouri, but Shawnee, Kansas. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does mention that it's temporary; besides, Shawnee is part of the Kansas City, Kansas metropolitan area, so it's not really that big of a deal. And Kansas City, Kansas is right next to Kansas City, Missouri anyways. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do live in KC, so I know my way around the metro area I think they're moving to Olathe when the arena they are building there will be finished, which is just another 15 minutes fown the road. I'm not sure how handcuffed they were on the logo (due to NHL copyrights and Native American restraints), but the logo?/wordmark? is Oklahoma City Thunder level simplicity. EDIT: Oh, looks like they have an actual logo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridleylash Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Seems as though Hershey is probably sticking with the Capitals as their affiliate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 That's good. It's kinda weird that Harrisburg is closer to DC, at least as the crow flies, than either of the big two PA cities. You wouldn't think of it that way. 3 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 The Pegulas have pretty much blown out the entire Rochester Americans front office, and I wouldn't be surprised if that was a precursor to something worse for hockey fans in Rochester.

Oh man, if the Pegulas move or fold Rochester, there'll be absolute hell for them to pay for it in terms of publicity. The team's played in Rochester since 1956, it's one of the oldest franchises in the AHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, i think the Sabres also fired their GM in Buffalo so it sounds like a top down approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weird thing is the Amerks have been pretty good at developing players and were doing pretty well the last few seasons. So I don't know why exactly the Pegulas felt it necessary to clean out their staff, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but if the issues were at the NHL level, and the staff in Rochester had connections to the old Buffalo GM, it may be a better decision to start with a clean slate. I've seen it done with friends in the MLB player development side of things so it doesnt surprise me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
