Ooof this is messy looking all around
Doubt.
So the Canes wanted the team in the *developmental* league to prioritize *developing* players and are….the ” bad guys”? Uh….ok.
TD going to buy or create a minor league team now? Hartford maybe? Richmond have a team?
I asked what happened to make out feeder teams want to leave us….
I guess this is an example. Right or wrong, they probably don’t want the Canes to interfere with their coaching or team management decisions past a certain point.
This is messy all around.
Lyon’s famous photo makes a whole lot more sense than just retaliation to the Springfield fans now
Honestly this is more of an issue that should be addressed by the owners and Gary.
If the NHL team is paying the salary of nearly every one on the team, they should have the right to make these kind of calls. It’s a developmental league filled with NHL teams prospects. It’s not some new concept that they would want to develop their players.
