News Article: Andlauer sells the Bulldogs to the Habs. Team moves to St. John for 2 years.

So CH finally own 100% of the Bulldogs? Then it's pretty much a given that they'll be moving to Laval once the arena is ready.

They own the franchise, so they can do pretty much whatever they want with it as long the AHL agrees.

I'm sure Nygren will enjoyed st-John newfoundland

Lots of bars and strip clubs, partying life style there. Similar to Montreal that way

Ceux qui vont au Fuzzy Laval

Fuzzy has been closed for almost 5 years now I think #getwiththetimes

So Andlauer bought the Bull and they will be renamed the Bulldogs and use the same jerseys?

First time I hear something like that, why not go forward with a full rebranding

Brand is already established. The Dogs sold more AHL tickets than most OHL teams sell. Should be even better as an OHL team since tickets will likely be cheaper/in demand due to not being affiliated with the Habs. FOC is a little big for an OHL arena though. Biggest in the OHL by about 10000.

just did a quick search for cheap flights to ST.Johns NL from Charlottetown PEI

Cheapest is around $500 return....seems alot to go watch a game

Any flight out of Charlottetown is rediculous. I usually found it cheaper to drive to halifax and fly outta there.

OHL tickets aren't much cheaper than AHL ones, if at all.

RIP Canadiens-affiliated Bulldogs. Luckily I got to watch Plekanec as a babyturtle(holy crap he used to be fast) and Price win the Memorial Cup without breaking a sweat.
