burrkeshanlon Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Jensen is only 18 years old and therefore cannot play in the AHL yet based on the CHL agreement. Grenier on the other hand was an over-ager playing in the OHL. So he has to go to either the Salmon kings, or the Wolves. Based on his skill and size though, I would guess that he goes to the wolves.

DeNiro Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Prab Rai? Really? Heck, even volpatti on the 4th line is weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Mark Flood is Newfoundland bound, and all the other REAL moose. The baby canucks will now be playing with the Wolves veterans. This seriously shakes up your roster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harold.druken Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I'm no expert on the AHL, but aren't Flood and Weiman Moose property, and therefore go to St. John's next year? I also think Seabrook was loaned to the Moose from the Heat so he would likely either play in Abbotsford or St. John's next year. The rest of your line-up looks pretty good. I think the Canucks will re-sign Bliznak and he'll likely center the third. It'd be interesting to see Schroeder and Rodin together, but I'm not sure if they'll move Schroeder back to center after playing mostly wing last year. Does anybody know if the Wolves have any players under contract that they'll want to put in the line-up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allt svartnar Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Matheson, Welch and Doell are Wolves property, at least, and signed for next season. Flood is a UFA awaiting NHL contract (will play for Leksand if he can't get one, rumour says), Weiman is a UFA. Seabrook will play where Calgary tells him to. Bliznak signed with Sparta Praha.

willhouse Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Has it even been confirmed that Chicago is our new farm team? And anybody hear what ECHL team will be our affiliate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micgao Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Volpatti is a top 6 guy in the AHL, at least that's where he played last year when he was down there. Oh and Shirokov has a chance of being there too although not sure if he will re-sign and wether he would make the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardousSedinerie Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Just saw on their FB page that apparently the Wolves are making an announcement on Monday morning around 10am regarding their official NHL affiliate. Be hearing it from Gillis soon enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardousSedinerie Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I'm gonna miss calling them The Moose. I loved their jerseys too, the colours, logo, everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Our fan site (it's not the "official site, but the one with the best, most knowledgeable fans) has been reporting that our affilation with the Canucks is a done deal. If you want to join in and meet some of the gang head over to www.wolfkeeper.org and say hi, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Tad optimistic to think Rai will play AHL next season. Not much word about him all last season other than injury. No news of rehab. Kinda strange IMO. ECHL Salmon Kings gone as well. You would think there would be another venue in the Lower Mainland where a ECHL team would fit.

Monteeun Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Under the Chicago Wolves, we have two Calder Cups :D i think... In other news, man, thats one hell of a trip back and forth for our prospects if they were called up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfKeeper Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Why listen to Thrashers fans who say we can't develop talent? If they were such fans they'd still have a team in Atlanta... If the rumors are true, welcome aboard. Will be nice to see how we deal with a "mature" NHL organization. I don't think it'll hurt the Wolves attendance-wise. The majority of weekend sales are for casual fans and groups, and the business side of the team is very aggressive on sales. The season ticket holders are a mixed bunch: some could care less who we're affiliated with as long as it's good hockey (which we've lacked for a few years with Atlanta), some die hard Chicago fans that may not make the jump because of the perceived hated of the Canucks in Chicago, and some that hated Atlanta was were ready to get out years ago. FWIW, I could see the CBC scheduling alot more Wolves games in their AHL package, since we televise our entire schedule in Chicago, home and road.

Canuckitty Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 If our farm team turns out to be the Chicago Wolves, I don't see a travel problem. Our call-ups will only have an hour or so longer plane trip than it was from Winnipeg to Vancouver. Hey, it's not like they'd have to travel by covered wagon!
