Murray gets tripped by Walcott, Amerks to a 5-on-3. Appert calls time out to get their ducks in a row for the 12 second 2-man advantage. I'm assuming Kulich in the wheelhouse for a bomb is the set play? And it was. (Not a goal.)
Syracuse kills the penalties, Walcott pops out of the box and gets a partial breakaway that Subban stops.

Chicago Wolves to shed NHL affiliation
Wolves general manager Wendell Young confirmed Wednesday the Wolves plan to become an independent AHL team.

I suppose there in lies the benefit of owning both the NHL franchise and the AHL team. Kind of feel for the independent owners though, they want to win and NHL teams want their players developed. Sometimes those 2 things don't go hand in hand.Chicago Wolves to shed NHL affiliation

The Chicago Wolves have tried to be an elite AHL team in the past, so if any AHL team were going to try this, my bet would have been them.
It will be interesting to watch how this plays out given the veteran player limits the AHL has now.
The Wolves have also had issues with "playing the kids" in the past because they want to win and that means veteran AHL scorers soaking key time.
But the vet limit is really going to make it interesting for them to try doing this for sure.

I wonder how much they didn't like the Hurricanes affiliation. I still don't understand what happened between Carolina and Charlotte. It made way too much sense and Charlotte has a very sweet setup with their own remodeled Coliseum.
I had read that they felt they needed "market diversification" rather than having the two teams relatively near one another, vying for the same entertainment dollars. I'd have to dig around to find the blurb, maybe it was just speculation.
I know that 2.5 hours drive time on a good day doesn't seem like encroachment to me and should build some organizational fanbase strength as people want to see the prospects or want to see how the prospects turned out. *shrug*
Tom Dundon marches to his own drummer that's for sure. And Raleigh and Charlotte aren't vying for the same hockey fans. I'm in Greensboro and I've gone to both for both Sabres and Amerks games but if I'm just catching a random game I go to Raleigh - if I'm not going to a Carolina Thunderbirds FPHL game in Winston which is a half hour away, cheap, super fun, and I know I'll see at least one fight.
If the same musical artist is playing both Raleigh and Charlotte I'll usually pick Raleigh but it depends on the venue and the night of the week.

I was wondering if that was different because Bloom signed his ELC & ATO on April 18, 2022 and Savoie signed his ELC in July.

You have to remember that neither Bloom nor Savoie's NHL contracts had taken effect as they slid so he's eligible for an ATO

The CHL-AHL agreement only prevents CHL players from playing in the AHL while the CHL season is still ongoing. So once Savoie's CHL season is done, he is free to play in the AHL without restriction.

Savoie can not technically sign an ATO, as he is signed to an NHL ELC. However, the Sabres can re-assign him from his junior team to Rochester, where he will be able to play (including in the playoffs). Unlike a player like Levi, who cannot be sent to the AHL this season, Savoie can as he was on assignment as of the trade deadline.
In fact, if they wanted to the Sabres could recall Savoie to the NHL, let him finish the season in Buffalo, and then send him down to Rochester if the Sabres fail to make the playoffs.
