D'oh!
Looks like we have to wait almost a month to find out who Greenville is aligning with, now that the last link of the I-85 chain is broken. I have a feeling that they'll be aligning with Nashville/Milwaukee.

He never posts a link for anything, even rumors, and the mods don't do anything about it for some reason.Flyers extend their ECHL affiliation with Reading Royals | Philadelphia Flyers

When will the Blue Jackets realize they are alienating fans by having a Michigan-based team as their ECHL affiliate, given the whole UM-OSU rivalry.

CBJ fans, myself included, mostly couldn't care less about the ECHL affiliation. It certainly hasn't alienated any of the fans I know, nor have I heard anything negative about it on the CBJ boards
Rapid City Rush end affiliation w/ NHL Arizona and AHL Tucson via tweet; sounds like a new announcement is planned for 8/25/22
Since Hutch does not know how to post links, here is the Rapid City tweet referenced in his post.

So this was the domino that I was waiting to see fall. Now Wichita can announce their new affiliation with Arizona the night the Coyotes come to town for their exhibition vs. the STL Blues.
I'm expecting Calgary to Rapid City once it was announced SEA TO KC.... Who takes Wichita, remains to be seen, then there's the possibility of New Mexico out there that's an option if the ECHL confirms Rio Rancho is starting by next season. I'm not sure one of the 7 teams that aren't affiliated now have interest in Rapid City....So this was the domino that I was waiting to see fall. Now Wichita can announce their new affiliation with Arizona the night the Coyotes come to town for their exhibition vs. the STL Blues.

That would seem to line up with my prediction that Greenville is about to affiliate with Nashville/Milwaukee.
that's not what was said... Greenville might land with an affiliation that's not currently affiliated.....

I am thinking Greenville aligns with the Kings. They have been unofficially affiliated for several years

So that leaves the Allen Americans, Rapid City Rush, and Wichita Thunder without affiliates so far.
And there are 8 NHL teams without any ECHL affiliates: Washington, Winnipeg, San Jose, Ottawa, St. Louis, Vancouver, Calgary & Nashville.
Rapid City did confirm that on the 25th (Thursday), they will announce their new affiliate (my guess it'll be the Sens since their affiliation with the Gladiators has ended).
