AHL TV ... bunch of cheating b.asta.rds.
Team Home and Away advertised as $34.99... auto-renewal charged me $48.99. I was in contact with them regarding a credit I had with them ($11), they assured it would be applied as part of the auto-renewal for this season. Of course it wasn't.

Aaaand a second email from AHL TV Support saying "During the correction process, any credit that is on your account will still be used towards the subscription renewal. "
Vince Mercogliano has a story today about Hartford after speaking to Chris Drury. Previewing AHL Hartford season and NY Rangers prospects to watch. Drury said the team normally has 23 players but thought the Wolfpack would carry 26 because of covid.
He projected the 26 including possible lines and defensive parings as follows:
Forwards
First line → Morgan Barron (LW) • Gabriel Fontaine (C) • Jonny Brodzinski (RW)
Second line → Tim Gettinger (LW) • Justin Richards (C) • Patrick Newell (RW)
Third line → Will Cuylle (LW) • Patrick Khodorenko (C) • Ty Ronning (RW)
Fourth line → Ryan Dmowski (LW) • Mike O'Leary (C) • Austin Rueschhoff (RW)
Extras → Jake Elmer (RW), Shawn McBride (C) and Alex Whelan (RW)
Defense
Top pair → Tarmo Reunanen (L) • Darren Raddysh (R)
Second pair → Matthew Robertson (L) • Braden Schneider (R)
Third pair → Brandon Crawley (L) • Zach Giuttari (R)
Extras → Mason Geertsen (L) and Vincent LoVerde (R)
Goalies
Starter → Adam Huska
Backup → Tyler Wall
Extra → Dylan Garand
NOTE: Forward Anthony Greco was placed on the NHL taxi squad Tuesday.

I'd be surprised to see LoVerde sitting with Giuttari in the lineup, unless the plan is to go as young as possible. I also don't know about Ronning on the third line--I think that someone like McBride will likely end up playing ahead of him. Ronning has never really shown much in the AHL and I know the organization liked what McBride did as an AHL piece.
Concerning your comment about going as young as possible l saw this quote in an article in the Athletic about the AHL salary proposal:
“This season is only about development for the NHL-contracted guys, no one is playing to win anything,” one AHL-contracted player said. “We know that. The teams know that. It’s not about anything other than that.”
“This season is only about development for the NHL-contracted guys, no one is playing to win anything,” one AHL-contracted player said. “We know that. The teams know that. It’s not about anything other than that.”
Yeah that would make sense. You put the guys you may need on the taxi and go really young in the AHL. Still need some vets to give the kids a chance, but otherwise it's youth all the way.

I guess Gordie Howe's longevity is not that special after all

Robertson was already sent back. The Alberta teams were given the ok to start. No word yet on the rest of the whl

Long and short of it is that the players originally agreed to a deal where they'd get about 80% of their salaries, but that was when it was assumed everyone would be playing 50 or more games.
Now the AHL has basically reneged, since they're playing far fewer games total, and most players will receive 40-48% of their salary--which for a lot of AHL guys means they're making like $30k. There are lots of guys who passed up the chance to sign in Europe with the assumption they'd be making 80% over here, which really screws them.
Worse, the AHL basically told the PHPA that either they take this deal or the season would be canceled. So even though everyone knew this deal was awful, they were basically forced to take it. It's either take the deal or earn nothing at all, which is particularly tough for the lower-end AHL/ECHL-types who haven't been paid for a game since the AHL shut down almost a year ago.
Shitty, shitty situation.

Yeah, being the lower pro-leagues in NA sucks at the moment. Much sympathies to them.
Yeah as @Leetch3 said, only the handful of Alberta-based teams were given the clear to play. And then, they're only playing 24 games, like Hartford (starting February 26).
It's not clear at this point if/when teams from other provinces and the U.S. will be able to start. Schneider's team is in Manitoba, and Garand's is in British Columbia, so for the moment they have nowhere else to go.
Pack lose 3-1 with Providence scoring an empty net goal. Pack goal was Brodzinski from Newell. Huska and Brassard split goalie duties.
The Pack do a terrible job in providing information about the team.

Yeah IDK what the other teams do for coverage, but with Hartford it's always as if the preseason games don't even exist. I mean they're not really covered on the AHL site, either, but still.

Always found it odd that for a league that is desperate for fans, they do almost nothing to promote it. They've never put pre-season games/box scores on their website and that is also pretty sad.

Wolfpack PR has always been piss poor, especially in preseason. They couldnt even post a lineup... simple text with 20 names. Pathetic.
Good to see the Pack fitting right into the losing culture of the parent Rangers.

Patrick Sieloff is in Pack camp. He's a tough, stay-at-home D with plenty of AHL experience and even a couple NHL games. He seems like an actual candidate for an AHL contract.
