Confirmed Trade: [ANA/TB] Mitch Hults for future considerations

[Michel Beauchamp]

They just started an affiliation with Orlando of the ECHL and said they planned on giving them 4 or 5 guys on NHL contracts. They've had a bunch of injuries and haven't sent anyone down yet so adding a body to send down or someone else. You typically don't trade for a guy just to bolster your ECHL squad but I think they want to have a good relationship with Orlando. They should've been affiliated ever since Orlando got a team back.

IIRC, you can only do that with players on ELC.

I know that, they have 18 guys in Syracuse on ELC's so plenty of options, including Hults.

without their permission

anyone not on ELC can still go, they just have to agree to it, sort of like a NTC or NMC

Lol ya heard Ferarro talking about him once. Funny story.

Imagine what Melnyk would do if this was still possible!

Melnyk would end up with an old worn out school bus that a bunch of hippies had lived in for several months.

knowing Tampa Bay, they will make this guy an impact 60-70 point contributor in their system.
