source?

doubtful you're going to pry the Islanders and Bridgeport apart based off the lease signed in 2001, that still is in effect for 4 more years; add to that what Andrews stated if there's going to be another club, it's a midwest affiliate, not another New York entry.

Never mentioned Islanders, or their farm hands leaving Bridgeport. If an NHL club wants something Andrews wont argue.

you need to come up with more than your opinion, here, NS, WHAT SOURCE said Brooklyn needs to have AHL

BACK UP something you post here, otherwise others, will call you on it, and I guarantee you they will,

not buying any rumor of an Eastern AHL Club that's not already landed/announced or previously been confirmed....

Hey night...WOW isn't that like the pot calling the kettle black??? Good thing you didn't post anything that was inflammatory or outside the boudries of what the lord deems ok.

What rink would you put them in? Aviator is too small (large rink holds maybe 2k). Barclays could be a good fit if Islanders move. Abe stark is nowhere near pro standards. Those are the only 3 rinks I know of in the Brooklyn area.

So, I love how everybody wants an AHL team. There's going to be one in Kansas City, Colorado Springs, Houston, Abbotsford, Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, Santa Fe, Mannheim, etc.

The way people on this board start placing AHL franchises you would think this is a 200 team league.

If Barclay's was unwilling to shut down in the off-season to fix the ice plant for the Islanders, why would they do it for an AHL team? You'd still have bad ice at Barclay's.

Nice post.

I am constantly amazed at how many rumors get posted on this site in the AHL and ECHL boards regarding teams moving.

If the Isles lose money in Brooklyn (which they do - hence why the Nets want them out), an AHL team is a non-starter. There are far more lucrative uses for those arena dates that don't require the outlay of $12,000/month just to keep the ice frozen.

ppl forget what this league is based upon, there's no more independents anymore, and now its a requirement to have an NHL affiliation before taking the ice, this is not the AHL of the late 70s to 80s.

as the IHL fans were keenly made aware of in 2001, the affiliation requirement had to happen, otherwise those 6 franchises wouldn't be accepted.

2) if we what know now is true, which NHL Affiliation not already spoken FOR WOULD BE the Brooklyn affiliation;

of the New York teams themselves: it's not the Islanders, Rangers or Sabres, all 3 of them own their own affiliates, you can eliminate Binghamton now that the Devils are going there, Utica due to the agreement w/ Vancouver, and Syracuse (no chance Dolgon leaves the Crunch).

If anything, the nassau veterans memorial coliseum would get an AHL team before Brooklyn ever does

So NOW you are speaking for the old IHL fans and teams? When exactly was it that Portland was an IHL team? How do you know what we did or didn't know? I guarantee you that we knew more about the AHL back then, Than you ever did about the IHL...see we are HOCKEY fans...not elitist like some of the people(YOU) want to believe.

Is there any source of this?

I also heard from a guy that there's a group that wants to bring an AHL team to Hawaii next season too...

Could they do AHL-quality ice cheaper?

Also, is synthetic ice (plastic ice-like sheet) an option in the AHL?

Ice is ice...... it's expensive to maintain.

And no plastic is not ice, that's why they call it plastic.
