Blackbelt Bobman posted:Wait, how did that happen? I thought they had Charlotte or whatever? Yeah historically the Charlotte Checkers were the Hurricane's affiliate.. not sure what happened there lol apparently the Chicago Wolves are now an "independent" hockey team, which means they signed their own roster of AHL players (or possibly accepted AHL players from various NHL teams on loans I guess). I would be interested in reading on what caused this shuffle for 2023-24 and why Carolina was the one that ended up without an affiliate.. I guess they just lost out in the game of musical chairs? **edit - I guess the Hurricanes switched from the Checkers to the Chicago Wolves as their affiliate for the 2020-21 season and that's when the Florida Panthers took Charlotte.. the Wolves were the ones that decided to unaffiliate with Carolina leaving them out in the cold lol I remember the Chicago Wolves always had a more veteran team and often brought in higher priced AHL UFA types to boost their chances of winning.. I wonder if Carolina's development philosophy (they've always really pushed for a development focused approach with their AHL team and fielded younger rosters) caused the disconnect ***edit 2 - yup The Athletic posted:Young said the decision was made because the Wolves believe the Hurricanes’ philosophy towards their AHL affiliate had changed this season.

Chicago had issues with their relationship with Carolina because they want to play to win, not just develop.

The Flames are really slow. It's nice that the Penguins won back-to-backs but realistically the Caps and Flames are two of the slowest teams in the league, which allows the Pens to beat them with skill. I don't think they're going to deal very well with the Rangers or Devils.Levitate posted:Turns out Carolina really isn't a lovable bunch of jerks. The Hurricanes are going to collapse hard next year.

The Wolves have always been independent which is why they've cycled through like 10 different affiliates the past 20 years for exactly the reasons described above

Matt Zerella posted:So, Arizona is pretty good? I think having a roster full of guys who have been in the league a while makes a big difference over running a bunch of untested rookies and elevated AHLers in your depth lines They still got a couple of suspect talents on the roster (Liam O'Brien and Josh Brown stand out to me) but otherwise it looks much better than before. **I actually think that's pretty critical to a player's development and Logan Cooley / Dylan Guenther / whoever will have a much better chance going forward.. I really do think that Roope Hintz, Miro Heisanen, Jake Oettinger and Jason Robertson benefited from playing on a team that scuffled to a borderline wildcard spot (or maybe a 10th place finish) as they were developing as players instead of a team with 6 other guys trying to break into the league and figure things out at the same time..

Yeah, most of that looks about right. Brodie's just clinging on to Rielly who at least started off the season well. Knies has been more noticeable than Minten (mostly invisible) and Domi (baaad) but whatever.

what's going on with Timo Meier? he's looked not great so far this year and tonight he got caved in (32% xGF), took two really bad penalties and got benched for the entire third period.

McCabe-Klingberg getting annihilated at evens was incredibly predictable, putting a new guy who’s notoriously defensively indifferent with the second newest guy who’s always over-aggressive all over the ice was never going to work. I get that Rielly-Brodie is Keefe’s security blanket but Rielly-Liljegren and Brodie-Klingberg would be a lot better off imo. Similarly with the third line, Knies-Minten-whoever Keefe dislikes right now is setting up every single person there to fail.

God drat the Capitals "stars" looked absolutely miserable again. It took Darcy Kuemper posting a .950, Markstrom letting in a stinker, and Matthew Phillips scoring a goal to eke out a shootout win. There's no path forward with this core. They really need to just let the clock run out on some of these contracts and give some of their young players more playing time.

I only saw him in the Pens game but Ovechkin looked incredibly slow in that game. Like he was skating underwater. And that's playing against maybe the slowest team in the league other than possibly the Caps themselves. Not sure how much of that is just being old and how much of it is, uh, conserving energy, but he may finally have reached the point of being strictly a PP specialist.

Washington looks very much to be 'done' and their new coach completely out of his depth at the NHL level. The slight upside is John Carlson looks pretty good though.

It’s only two games, Carberry will be fine. Look what he did with the young kids last night? This thread complains non stop about the same old busted rear end dinosaur coaches year after year, let a young coach get his feet wet before you pass judgement.

Misanthrope posted:I suppose OV could get the record as a powerplay specialist... But man he looked old/slow/disinterested/etc. As I've said plenty of times before, this is the best possible outcome. Old man Ovi just refusing to give up and slowly chipping away at Gretzky's record while Spec and Matheson write increasingly hysterical hit pieces about how unsportsmanlike it is. Couple that with McDavid leaving and I might actually ascend into heaven in corporeal form.

Ovi will still be able to sock 15-20 PP dingers a year pretty much as long as he wants to. I think he's hit the point now where his 5-on-5 minutes need to be limited to strictly o-zone starts as much as humanly possible though
