Any news on if there will be a season, now that the NHL has worked things out?
They have always planned to have a season, February 5 is the announced start up date.

How it will work or be effected by the NHL expanded rosters, Canadian division teams with US AHL affiliates, it’s economic feasibility without gate revenue etc hasn’t been discussed publicly so who knows.

Interesting how devils will organise training. Will they train both squads together? I understand that there are requirements and obligations to move from one league to another, but such proximity can help in speeding up the introduction of a player to a new training schedule.

Carolina is dual affiliating with Tampa Bay in Syracuse.

St. Louis is dual affiliating with Vancouver in Utica.

That would be Florida with Tampa. I was surprised to learn that Carolina moved their AHL affiliate to Chicago and Florida took over the Charlotte Checkers affiliate. Not sure why Carolina would do that - I saw a Checkers game last season and it was great. My brother-in-law is a huge Canes fan that lives in the Charlotte area by will drive a few hours to attend games in Raleigh. Also makes more sense that a team such as Florida would opt-out of having a team for their AHL affiliate. A bit surprised St. Louis and Nashville opted out as well.

Is this a money thing since the NHL teams have to support their AHL affiliate this season?

I tried to figure out the AHL team musical chairs earlier this off-season and gave up figuring I’d wait until the dust settled lol.

I hope they hit the ground running. Covid cutting that amazing run they were having short sucked so much.

I think people forgot how white hot Bing was. Adding a couple of very big boys on the blue line this season too.

By the back half of the AHL schedule you have to think that Smith Bahl and Okhotyuk will be a formidable AHL left side defense

Sprinkle on vets like Jacobs and Tennyson on the right side with guys like Walsh and Quenneville and their defense should be pretty darn solid.
