gilbert1175 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I'm guessing this isn't about an impending Biron trade, but rather about getting another body into Rochester - just thought I'd pass along... http://www.echl.com/cgi-bin/mpublic.cgi?ac...&cat=1&id=10129 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FogBat Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 ...and the fact that their starting goalie Craig Anderson, Panthers property, was recalled the day before. The Panthers need their own farm team instead of tapping into Rochester. Then again, rumor has it that the Panthers may be on the move if they can't get financially stable (and the same goes for Nashville). For all we know, they may move to the other side of the border.

Orange Seats Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 The Panthers need their own farm team instead of tapping into Rochester. If I remember correctly, the Sabres #%^$#!ed around renewing their deal with Rochester and that's how Florida ended up with half a stake in the team. Anyone rememebr the details?

inkman Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 The Panthers need their own farm team instead of tapping into Rochester. It's not like they are forcing the Amerks affiliation with them. Rochester chose to do it for financial reasons. :rolleyes: If I remember correctly, the Sabres #%^$#!ed around renewing their deal with Rochester and that's how Florida ended up with half a stake in the team. Anyone rememebr the details? I think it centered around financial aspects and the fact that Buffalo would not supply any AHL vets for the roster. I wonder how that would impact the Amerks. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Seats Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Does "AHL Vet" mean "no chance of making the NHL"? So, the Sabres weren't willing to pay for AHL only players that wouldn't be in the farm system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Steve Donner comes to my mind. Does "AHL Vet" mean "no chance of making the NHL"? So, the Sabres weren't willing to pay for AHL only players that wouldn't be in the farm system Buffalo had these players in Rochester for years. Chris Taylor, Mike Hurlbut, Scott Nichol, Scott Metcalf just to name a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Taylor, Mike Hurlbut, Scott Nichol, Scott Metcalf just to name a few. And all were put in place prior to the dual affiliation. Unfortunately, money rules all now and the only time guys like that are going to get jobs are with young, "not quite playoff contenders yet" teams.
