906Damn. Maybe they have the intent of sending him to the Rampage. Still a good insurance policy to have. I’m sure Troy expected more playing time here and quite frankly so did I. And I bet Panger did too.

9079 people total I think. His daughter was with him too. Would like to know what caused the crash.

Its called controlled flight into terrain. CFIT. Pilot flew into lowering clouds, and while under control, flew it right into the ground.

Very tragic, indeed.
Re: News and Games around the NHL
915If his role grew beyond what it ended up being this team would've been in huge trouble. He had a good run, but he's cooked. No shame in that.
...but whatever, the Blues won the Cup!!!!!
Re: News and Games around the NHL
917My guess is that he goes to S.A. until the playoffs start.... then comes back when the cap doesn't matter.... he didn't have any other teams ringing his phone when Army hired him, and I doubt that anything's changed.

Re: News and Games around the NHL
923Lamar Hunt, Jr. doesn't own an arena; he owns an ECHL team (the Kansas City Mavericks) who play their home games in the city-owned Silverstein Eye Center Arena in Independence, MO. Not very likely an AHL team would move in there, due to seating capacity (5,800 for hockey) and Lamar Jr. having nowhere else in the area to move the ECHL team. The rumored STL Blues-Hunt cooperative plan was to place an AHL team (nominally an expansion franchise) in the city-owned KC Sprint Center, but the city has expressed no public interest in leasing seasonal dates to a hockey team that would displace returning tenants who bring in larger crowds.Cotton McKnight wrote: Tue Jan 28, 2020 8:13 amWeren't we trying, to get an expansion AHL team with the owner of the arena in KC?JMC-STL wrote: Tue Jan 28, 2020 7:50 amNHL affiliate story to watch in the coming months.

The simple shuffle I find more likely is for the SA Rampage franchise to be sold & moved to Vegas, and the Blues returning to an affiliation with the CHI Wolves (who are currently the Golden Knights' AHL affiliate). But even the notion of Spurs Sports & Entertainment relinquishing their Rampage franchise seems mighty unlikely. That's why I'm thinking this AHL shuffle will be a complex one with many moving parts (or rather, many moving franchises).
Re: News and Games around the NHL
924Vancouver is by all accounts very pleased with their Utica Comets affiliation despite the distance, and signed a 6-year affiliation agreement (with opt-outs) in late 2018 to keep the Comets in Utica. But Canucks Sports & Entertainment are likely keeping a regular eye on West Coast AHL developments, looking for an opportunity to join in & move their AHL franchise closer to home - in B.C. or somewhere in the U.S. Northwest.
