Still nothing official and we're over 1000. The last post from the prior thread about some AHL teams possibly not returning if there's no fans seems like a good jumping off point
The thread is named like James VI and I.
I've almost wondered if some teams at the NHL level will be allowed to do that for this upcoming year. If teams can't have their AHL affiliate play (whether just at first or period), and can't work out something to have a combined affiliate with another AHL team that is free to play (or maybe none are free to play), will the NHL let teams keep some of their players as a taxi squad almost? Of course, they'd still have to abide by all rules of waivers and such I'd assume, and on paper they might be Wolves or whatever, but maybe they practice in Raleigh with or separate from the team? If they allow teams to just schedule quick weekend tourneys, would something like that work?Are you suggesting we might unite the Canes and the affiliate under one organizational structure, or do you think they'll remain distinct and separate?
Lord protect us from that, some fundamental issue is gonna come in between and then heads are gonna roll and it's gonna return to bite us.Are you suggesting we might unite the Canes and the affiliate under one organizational structure, or do you think they'll remain distinct and separate?
God help us of we go out and draft or sign anyone named Oliver any time soon.Lord protect us from that, some fundamental issue is gonna come in between and then heads are gonna roll and it's gonna return to bite us.
There's only Oliver Suni available. His name is not of Canes material.God help us of we go out and draft or sign anyone named Oliver any time soon.

Good that this was legit news. I was afraid you messed up the Jacobins and the Jacobites.Jake Bean named first team AHL all star
I do not understand this reference.
(We're still totally drafting Marat.)
I feel the worst for some of the players. Charlotte > suburban Chicago. There's a reason Chicagoland is losing population while cities like Charlotte are some of the fastest growing in the US.
I hope we don't just perpetually block Jake Bean from a roster spot until an eventual expansion draft. Kid's good enough to prove what he can do.
The Skjei acquisition still makes very little sense to me.
They’re going to play minor league hockey in the 3rd biggest city in North America as 20-23 year olds.
They’ll be fine.
Unless you go full Florida.If you have 7 NHL defenseman going into the expansion draft, worst you can leave with is 6. I think that’s the reasoning.
Except they'll be outside of the city right next to O'Hare. Now if they were living in or near the Loop, that would be a lot cooler. Sure they can go to the city if they have a day off or something but it's not really the same.They’re going to play minor league hockey in the 3rd biggest city in North America as 20-23 year olds.
