I am whelmed 🙂
Certainly one of the announcements of all time
Stability – I like it.
Sweet. Cant wait to see more prospects come through.
This isn’t bad news. The most important thing is our prospects need to go somewhere they can learn the Blues’ system and learn to play cohesively so that they can prosper at the NHL one day. I was selfishly hoping they might buy out the Evansville Thunderbirds and send their prospects there, so I could easily watch them live. Oh well.
Wait we can have an AHL team for more than 5 years?
Good news to have stability with an affiliate. Also, on a personal level this is a neat connection.
The Thunderbirds were in Portland prior, and before they were in Portland, they were the Baltimore Skipjacks.
