Six more years.
likely because it is Esche who has been relatively successful and convinced Orca Bay aka the Canucks to select Utica, it also tells the fact that Abbotsford or anywhere else in BC simply isn't interested....Very Surprising to see Vancouver buck the trend to bring the AHL affiliate locally.
The key words are: "The deal in place will allow for an extension of up to an additional six years." The 6-year term seems like an indication that Vancouver is unsure of an affiliate opportunity opening up in a Western city anytime soon, but the way it's written the parties have "outs" if/when conditions change. Standard affiliation contract language.Very Surprising to see Vancouver buck the trend to bring the AHL affiliate locally.
The fact that they specifically says "up to" an additional six years makes it sound like they have a more liberal out clause than just a standard $XX payment if you leave early or must replace the team with another. Could even be an annual decision where Vancouver has the same decision at this time of year every season. I wonder if someone will do a follow up article to provide details?The key words are: "The deal in place will allow for an extension of up to an additional six years."

A replacement team requirement if it’s written in the contact chould refer to a junior team or a echl team.The fact that they specifically says "up to" an additional six years makes it sound like they have a more liberal out clause than just a standard $XX payment if you leave early or must replace the team with another.

Did you hear of any new team if the comets leave clauses in Vancouver’s lease with Utica knowing the devils history. I whould not be surprised if they move their ahl team again someday If they get a good offerIt's just PR language. I have no doubt that lease agreement between the Canucks and Esche isn't anything out of the norm, with the parties having designated outs after certain points with everything negotiated beforehand on what a party has to do to leave the agreement. Word from those that pay attention says it's essentially three two-year deals. The Canucks and Esche could have signed 50 two-year deals and said "up to 100 years" in the press release. In the end it's all the same: meaningless PR language.

For a lot of AHL fans, seeing players move to the NHL team isn't really a benefit. They want their AHL team to do well, win games, and championships.More and more now it seems that NHL-AHL affiliations are improving in the sense that it helps the AHL fans to follow the prospects into the NHL.
Which franchises have the poorest affiliations in terms of benefiting the AHL fans and players?
