There's an Arizona Coyotes joke here somewhere waiting to be made...the WHL team wont be moving to a 2000 seat arena.
I can tell you that for free.

So Vancouver, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and now Calgary will all have their AHL affiliates in Canada next season. Wonder if the Oilers will follow suit at some point?
Holland has confirmed the team isn't going anywhere. They really like them in Bako. Great atmosphere, 7000 fans a night, and becoming very knowledgable fans, and the players enjoy the city.

Stocktons attendance was patheticYup, no need to move the team. Seems like a good fanbase there. I think Stockton didn’t fill the stands
Really strange that Petrov is listed there and Borgault isn’t.
Took a peak at this to see if there were any updates to RFAs/UFAs. What caught me a lil by surprise was seeing Petrov listed on the roster. @belair, not sure I’ve seen any indication where he’d play next year, know you spoke a bit about him going back for another year and staggering contracts.
Probably because Bourgault is still actively playing. Petrov's team has been eliminated.Really strange that Petrov is listed there and Borgault isn’t.
Couldn't they run multiple games in one day? Not sure what it would do to the ice for game two, but having your AHL team and WHL team playing on the weekend same day shouldn't be much of an issue.One challenge is scheduling. The Oilers already have the Oil Kings in the building. But it is a big advantage having your AHL team in the same city.

The issue really that happens is your attendance could potentially start dropping for your WHL brand, but I'm sure Calgary weighed that against the convenience of having their AHL team in the same building.
Makes you wonder if they'd even have the dressing room area in that arena for three clubs. I'd assume each team would want to have their own
There are 5 dressing rooms in Rogers Place. More than enough to bring the Condors if ownership and management want to. The video below is timestamped:
So still newer than the last Leafs Cup win.For Edmonton I'm not worried, more talking about Calgary as the Saddledome is just about 40 years old.

Signed in Europe as did Ostap Safin, so I assume NHL dream is somewhat done.You guys think Filip Berglund will be a bottom pairing NHLer one day or forever an AHLer?
Between him, Maksimov and Benson, they have really let us down as prospects.I think those hip injuries back in 2018/2019 killed Safin's career.

Both interesting situations too.I don't blame these kids. Travelling by bus across NA isn't fun. I prefer travelling by bus or train in Europe
Petrov was not actually drafted out of the CHL. He had never played in NA before being drafted. But he was drafted in the CHL prior to being drafted by the Oilers and that makes him ineligible for the AHL next year I believe.Pretty sure Petrov is CHL or NHL as he was drafted out of the chl and won’t be old enough for ahl duty, so it won’t be him
