Sharks pundit Curtis Pashelka wondered if Sharks might affiliate with this new team (when they announced one year extension to Thunder affiliation). VGK essentially own/control the Ghost Pirates so I don't know they are looking to change affiliation.
Having a Sharks affiliation might boost attendance too.
Monster theme compatible with Seattle/CV affiliation.Location better for VGK/HSK call ups/assignments than Savanah. ...
But Tahoe area was known for gold and silver mines.The Knight Monsters? Getting some American Dad Langley Falls Bazooka Sharks vibes theres.
And come one... Golden Knights, Silver Knights, .... should've been Bronze Knights!
Conflict with Warner Bros. trademarking.dark Knights
Nashville is getting one in Clarksville, TN I believe.Location better for VGK/HSK call ups/assignments than Savanah.
Obvious would be Nashville who doesn't have an ECHL affiliate.
Knight Monsters? what a dumb name. I know that the Brandiose style "silly-fun minor league baseball team name" thing is all the rage but this is just clumsy. Surely they could've picked a name that was Knight adjacent that was still cool instead of this monstrosity.
Maybe trademark issues with the Lake Erie Monsters? Since renamed to the Cleveland Monsters.
Lake Tahoe Monsters sounds solid to me.
