Let's say Seattle does put there AHL affiliate in Abbotsford BC what would you call them the Abbotsford????.
It does seem premature to start trying to guess the name of the AHL affiliate when they haven't even announce the name of the NHL team yet.
Rochester is owned by who, ads? BuffaloThe two of them have to be related? I am pretty sure that is not a NHL or an AHL rule.
See Nashville Predators and Milwaukee Admirals, Buffalo Sabres and Rochester Americans...

no, it's not, remember Buffalo and Rochester weren't always affiliatedChris, that is irrelevant. They aren't named the Rochester Sabres, or even the Rochester Swords, that is my point!
All teams are not the brain dead Penguins, Bruins, Devils, Stars, Wild & Senators with the same names and the same colors for both teams.

No, they don't have to be related. I'm just saying it is very early in the process, any guesses about the name of the next AHL team right now are purely guesses. We don't know who will own the team, what city it will be in, or even if it will actually be a Seattle affiliate.The two of them have to be related? I am pretty sure that is not a NHL or an AHL rule.

Why would Seattle would place their AHL affiliate in Canada? You would create a lot of work in figuring out currency exchange rates constantly in figuring salaries for coaching staff, medical staff, players, office staff, affiliation fee, etc. Lot of work and hassle in that figuring that all out.
If Seattle does decide to own their AHL affiliate, they have several options. The current favorite would be the Idaho Steelheads in the ECHL (or at least that is what the current speculation is right now). Then Seattle could also be waiting to see what happens in the next 2 seasons to see if any AHL affiliation changes in the Pacific Division that could get their interest if a current NHL team who owns their AHL team in the AHL Pacific Divsion, decides to move their AHL team elsewhere.
Right now Seattle does not even have a GM named so all this is speculation on everyone here at the moment. I sure more news from Seattle will come out as the NHL regular season gets near.
do you have sources on this it sounds like more than speculationEveryone on here is writing as f Seattle owns an AHL franchise. They do not. Maybe Florida or Tampa Bay buys the new franchise and puts it in Orlando and calls them the New Solar Bears and then Seattle has to affiliate with someone that already has a team name.
Speculation on the name - Crunch.
