Owned and Operated. Peter Karmanos Jr is listed as the owner of the team and is a minority owner of the Hurricanes. It is assumed they will stay affiliated until that ownership tie is broken.

Doesn't Thomas Dundon own the majority interest in Carolina, now, based off what transpired last season, doesn't change the affiliation

Yes, he does. Having a common owner doesn't really mean anything in terms of affiliation though. Maine Mariners, Comcast Spectacor, and the Philadelphia Flyers are an example of that.

simply, slue, the Ice Caps AND THE Leafs, before them owned the franchise, as did the Canadiens in Newfoundland, that is why Deacon and the Edge ownership of the Growlers, is locally owned and operated, similar to what Florida has but if the Hurricanes elect to relocate it, they could... just as St. John's saw with the now Marlies, then the two iterations of the Ice Caps, between Winnipeg and Montreal.... that's the difference between Newfoundland then and now.

as long as it's understood, in our case, the Flyers have no intention of leaving Reading, but I really don't see Florida going anywhere, and it's not Comcast Spectacor, it's Spectra....:thumbu:

From the website of Comcast Spectacor:
Headquartered in Philadelphia, Pa., Comcast Spectacor’s three core businesses are the National Hockey League’s Philadelphia Flyers, the Wells Fargo Center venue, and Spectra, a hospitality firm specializing in Venue Management, Food Services & Hospitality, and Partnerships.

So yes, Spectra manages the building in Portland, and the new Mariners. Comcast Spectacor is the parent company that owns them, plus the Flyers and the Wells Fargo Center. So Woo was technically correct, since he was referring to the common ownership between the Flyers and Mariners. Comcast Spectacor owns the Flyers and they own Spectra, which owns the Mariners, so they are the link between the two teams.

My guess is Brampton will affiliate with Ottawa next year. I have no idea where Canadiens' ECHL affiliate will be next year.
 
Bit of tea leaf reading here:

The Lightning are going to play a home preseason game in Orlando this coming season. Maybe this means a Lightning-Solar Bears affiliation.

Solar Bears were very cryptic after what was known with what's transpired since MLSE returned to NL and the connection there up to 2005.....

also, can anyone confirm this: am reading/seeing posts that Colorado is in discussions with Rapid City as their replacement for Loveland, CO.... IF TRUE, does that put Minnesota/Iowa on the search list....
