Chicago Wolves Dead Last In AHL, Reach Out To Canes For Help…

You can’t make this poo up… we bring a Calder Cup to Chicago, the Wolves dump us, and now that they suck, they want our help again.

Ponomarev, Fensore, Seeley, and Mendel have been reassigned from their current AHL/ECHL teams to Chicago.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see them ask for Rees, Robidas, and others as well.

Ya, I’ve been watching fans on Twitter. They basically are giving the wolves a big FU for “not needing a NHL” affiliate.

Yeah, it feels wrong for the Checkers, who really only exist because of the Canes , and have the Canes colors , not to be our AHL team 

Checkers have decades on the Canes when it comes to dirty south hockey, ackchuallly!!!

This, current, version has been around since 1990, transitioning to AHL affiliation in 2010.

No matter how you look at it, the Checkers pre-date the Canes in NC. They are a big part of the reason the NHL was comfortable bringing a team to our State in the first place.

Ive got a friend in his late 50's, country as can be, whose daddy was a Checker back in the 60s. Didnt know much about hockey, but he could stand up on skates and fight (occasionally simultaneously) which was enough for the team back then... lol

NC has always been hockey country!

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
