Are you going to be the owner? Need an interested owner before it even becomes a discussion.What do you think?
By virtue of your Reply, you have made this a discussion. "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, it's all your fault ..."Are you going to be the owner? Need an interested owner before it even becomes a discussion.
Yes I mayAre you going to be the owner? Need an interested owner before it even becomes a discussion.
If you are truly a potential owner of a professional sports team, I'd have serious reservations regarding the ultimate success of your business plan that starts with a: "What do you think?" post in a hockey forum.Yes I may
Colorado has that Grizzlies affiliation....Utah-Colorado Eagles----Avalanche.... Tucson has already been retained by SEG as the affiliate despite separate ownership.... there hasn't been a decision I've seen where either Tahoe or Bloomington have announced affiliations yet....The Grizzlies probably would be smart to be the affiliate. Then again the Grizzlies being independent may work but nothing spells disaster more the an NHL city having a minor league team of another NHL market, especially a rival. It's no wonder Abbotsford wasn't a sustainable AHL market until it became Vancouver's AHL club. It's almost as bad as Albany being a NJ Devils farm team in a market full of Ranger fans.
Some can argue about Adirondack being a good ECHL club for the Devils but in reality the ownership is local, the coach a hometown boy, and the identity of the franchise is all local. The Thunder tomorrow could change its affiliate and other then a few good provided players it would be business as usual. Adirondack is a good organization and there are other good NHL organizations that would be equally happy to send some of their talented developing young players. Utah's ECHL club would be smart to affiliate with the new NHL club or just retain its independent status and promote itself as a more affordable family friendly alternative but NEVER ever would it be smart to affiliate with someone else.
At least funnier than your negative posts on this board!"club-school"? French-Canadian translations are fun!
ECHL affiliations to my knowledge are year to year at best I believe, but could be wrong. I would think the Grizzlies either being SLC's affiliate or being totally independent with their own identity would be more appealing then being affiliated with what will definitely be a regional NHL rival in Colorado.Colorado has that Grizzlies affiliation....Utah-Colorado Eagles----Avalanche....

That may be but since everything is year to year is it too late to not be affiliated with Colorado? I know Adirondack sometimes announced pretty late about their Devils affiliation.. The one year they had a "semi" dual affiliation with Tampa which worked fairly decent. Either way I don't live there so it really doesn't matter. It's just tough to see the poor little guy (ECHL Grizzlies) squeezed out or negatively impacted by the new big guy on the block (NHL Salties lol).they already are.... that happened when the Eagles were promoted
what NHL Team is moving the Utah Grizzlies up when there's 32 AHL Teams.... you ought to be better than this how again did Charlotte acquire the famed Albany River Rats and where is Capital District Sports currently @Ratitiude..... where has it been stated Utah is leaving..... they aren't..... have the Grizzlies ever played in the Delta Center under Ryan Smith or Larry Miller? NOPE WHY was Maverik Center bullt then in West Valley City.... is SEG doesn't own either franchiseThat may be but since everything is year to year is it too late to not be affiliated with Colorado?
