I wonder if Buffalo continues its affiliation in Jacksonville. They seemed to provide some quality guys on AHL deals, helped them to a strong season albeit one that ended at the hands of the Everblades in 7 games in the first round.
I hope so for selfish reasons! Though I could see the following happening, and would be fine with this as well:
Everblades move to Hurricanes - return to their first parent (they are the Whalers colors for a reason)
Panthers move to Jax
Vegas move to the new Reno ECHL team and leave Savannah
Sabres then pick up the Ghost Pirates with Vegas leaving
EDIT: Savannah to announce new NHL/AHL Affiliate Monday.
After just two seasons as an affiliate of the Las Vegas Golden Knights, the Savannah Ghost Pirates are set to announce a new parent team.
