AHL Affiliate Thread - Send them the Wolves

The fact that it keeps dragging it makes me think we're more likely to stay in Charlotte. Seems like most suggest that it was all about negotiating and perhaps they're still working on the deal or waiting for the other side to give in.

Poor Chicago. They must feel so jilted.

As well they should.

Maybe they came to their senses and realized moving their minor-league operation out of state (In a market they really need to start captivating) is a foolish idea just to save a dollar?

Again, we can only hope. I'm not holding my breath but all reports were this thing was supposed to be done in mid-May, and then two weeks ago. So who really knows, only they do I guess.

 

[Bridgeburner96]

It just seems like if they were choosing Chicago it would have been announced by now or say a few weeks ago when they kept saying they would announce it.

Monday was the Checkers 1 year anniversary of winning the Calder. It was a nice time and everyone was really happy

every day that goes by feels like another 1% added to the possibility that nothing changes with the Checkers/Canes after all.

Every time I see an update to this thread, I hope that there's an actual update, and there never is.

MOTHERFU... good one.

Probably doesn’t mean much in the decision of the future baby Canes. But the Checkers COO is on the AHL’s return to play task force. So that’s something?




Edit: After reviewing this info graphic I see all AHL teams are listed with their NHL affiliate, the Checkers being the only one without an affiliate.

Just f***ing partner up again already. Just f***ing do it.

Am I missing an infographic? None of the AHL teams are listed with their NHL affiliates...

not sure if this had made the rounds yet, but: Oliwer Kaski to the KHL

Had a pretty decent season for the Checkers. But I don’t blame him one bit for dipping from our system, the logjam is huge.

Yeah not at all surprising. Not going to make the jump to the show here, nothing left to prove on the A level, I'd probably be doing the same thing and taking a series of one year deals in the second best league in the world in hopes of getting a one way NHL deal eventually if I stood out enough.

 

[HisIceness]

I forgot about him.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

I forgot about Dre.
