Chicago wolves GM said 

“It’s for the benefit of the Chicago Wolves, the Carolina Hurricanes and the American Hockey League that we have 32 NHL teams and 32 AHL affiliates. It’s good to be partnered with the Hurricanes.”

Which tells me Tom was exploring an AHL expansion as pressure at least.

The wolves literally just got stacked. Holy poo. Canes prospects all together again. 

They would have been in the running for anther Calder cup if they hadn't..... we have one of the best prospect pools so I suspect they will be much better next season

The Wolves need to just get out of the way and let the Canes organization manage everything.

This whole thing spiraled out of control because Wendell Young got butthurt that the Canes told the Wolves to stop playing Lyon over Kochetkov… and look what happened, Kochetkov led Chicago to a Calder Cup.

Will there be some up’s and downs with a pool of young players… sure.

But long term the Wolves will have much more success with our young guys over the washed up fringe NHL’ers that they think will allow them to be competitive.

I mean fug they got Peret’s, Vondras and the new russian ready. Not sure which is gonna ECHL this next season but I assume Peret’s will be the starter in Chicago next season.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
